Know before you buy

Yes, the D5 Stainless collection is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
No, these pans are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the bonded stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
