Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction alternates layers of stainless steel and conductive aluminum. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the entire pan, preventing hot spots and helping the pan maintain its shape even under high heat.
Yes, the D5 line is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
The brushed finish is designed to hide minor surface scratches and fingerprints better than a mirror-polished finish. While stainless steel requires standard care, it is highly durable and can be cleaned with a stainless steel cleanser to restore its appearance.
This saucepan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it versatile enough for finishing sauces or dishes that require high-heat searing.
The long handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions. However, because it is made of metal, you should always use an oven mitt when moving the pan from the oven or broiler.
The flared edges are specifically engineered for drip-free pouring. This makes it much easier to transfer sauces, stocks, or liquids into other containers without making a mess on your stovetop or counter.
