Know before you buy
No, this pan is designed for hand washing only. While the nonstick interior makes cleanup quick and easy, putting it in the dishwasher can damage the finish and reduce the lifespan of the pan.
Yes, the hard-anodized aluminum construction is excellent for searing. It provides even heat distribution, which helps achieve a consistent crust on steaks and other proteins.
The helper handle provides an extra point of contact, making it much easier and safer to lift the pan when it is full of food. Given the 5-quart capacity, this feature is essential for moving the pan from the stovetop to the oven or table.
Yes, the entire pan, including the glass lid, is oven safe up to 400°F. This allows you to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven without needing to switch cookware.
While the nonstick coating is durable, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to maintain the integrity of the surface. Metal utensils can scratch the coating over time, which may affect the pan's nonstick performance.
