Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum to eliminate hot spots. This ensures the pan heats evenly across the entire surface and stays flat, preventing the warping often seen in thinner cookware.
Yes, the D5 series is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
Absolutely. This saucepan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to move it directly from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes.
Because it is high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, it is excellent for searing and deglazing. To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan over medium heat before adding oil or food.
While the materials are durable, we recommend hand washing to maintain the brushed stainless steel finish and ensure the longevity of the bonded construction.
The handles are double-riveted for a secure, permanent grip. They are designed with a concave shape that fits comfortably in the hand, providing better control when pouring or moving the pan.
