Know before you buy
Yes, the D3 Stainless construction features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with induction, as well as gas and electric stovetops.
The stainless steel pan itself is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. However, the glass lid is only heat-safe up to 350°F, so you should remove the lid before using higher oven settings.
No, this saucepan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
The tri-ply design sandwiches a responsive aluminum core between two layers of durable stainless steel. This construction ensures rapid, even heat distribution across the entire pan, preventing hot spots that can scorch delicate sauces.
Yes, the glass lid is designed to fit securely to trap heat and moisture while allowing you to monitor your cooking progress without lifting the lid and losing temperature.
