Know before you buy
Vapor® Cooking Technology creates a vacuum seal between the lid and the pan, allowing food to cook in its own natural juices at lower temperatures. This method helps retain more nutrients and flavor compared to traditional boiling or steaming.
Yes, the pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its cladded metal construction ensures efficient heat transfer across all induction surfaces.
Absolutely. The pan is oven safe up to 500°F, making it ideal for recipes that require searing on the stove followed by finishing in the oven.
T-316 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and pitting, making it more durable and non-reactive than standard stainless steel. It ensures that your food maintains its pure flavor without any metallic aftertaste.
The ergonomic short handles are designed for a secure grip, though they are best suited for stovetop use or sliding the pan into the oven. Because they are compact, they also make the pan easier to store in crowded cabinets compared to long-handled versions.
While the rim-to-rim diameter is 12.17 inches, the inside cooking diameter is 10.5 inches. This provides a generous surface area for browning meats or sautéing vegetables for a family-sized meal.
