Know before you buy
The Vapor® seal creates a semi-vacuum effect between the lid and the pan. This traps moisture inside, allowing you to cook vegetables and proteins using only their natural juices rather than adding extra water or oil.
Yes, the T-316 surgical grade stainless steel construction is fully compatible with induction, as well as gas and electric stovetops.
Absolutely. The pan is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for finishing sauces or keeping dishes warm after they have been cooked on the stovetop.
T-316 stainless steel is a higher-grade material that is more resistant to corrosion and pitting than standard 304-grade steel. It is a non-reactive metal, ensuring that your food does not pick up a metallic taste during the cooking process.
The saucepan features ergonomic handles designed to minimize heat transfer. While they remain comfortable to touch during standard stovetop use, we always recommend using an oven mitt when removing the pan from a hot oven.
While the vessel is referred to as a 2-quart size, it has a precise capacity of 1.75 quarts. The deeper 3.31-inch walls are specifically designed to provide extra room for liquids, which helps prevent boil-overs when simmering soups or sauces.
