Know before you buy
The copper core provides superior thermal conductivity, allowing the pan to heat up quickly and respond instantly to temperature adjustments. The surrounding layers of stainless steel and aluminum ensure even heat distribution across the base and sides, preventing hot spots.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the bonded construction, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
Yes, the exterior is made of magnetic stainless steel, making it fully compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
This saucepan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. This makes it an excellent choice for tasks that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
The stainless steel handle is designed to stay cooler on the stovetop than the pan itself. However, because it is made of metal, it will eventually conduct heat during long cooking sessions, so we recommend using an oven mitt.
No, this is a professional-grade stainless steel pan without a non-stick coating. It is designed for searing and browning, which requires proper heat management and a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
