Know before you buy
D3 refers to the pan's tri-ply bonded construction. It consists of a responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel, which allows for rapid, even heat distribution across the entire surface.
While 14 inches is quite large, it is designed to fit standard burners. However, because of its size, you may find it works best on larger burners to ensure the heat reaches the edges of the pan effectively.
Yes, the D3 Stainless line is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass.
Yes, the stainless steel handle will conduct heat. It is recommended to use a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan during stovetop use.
Yes, this pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. The stainless steel construction is designed to withstand high temperatures without warping or degrading.
To minimize sticking, preheat the pan over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Once the fat is shimmering, add your food; if it sticks initially, it will usually release naturally once a proper sear has formed.
