Know before you buy
Yes, the MultiClad Pro is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass ceramic surfaces.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is oven-safe and can withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for both oven roasting and broiler use.
No, this pan features a professional-grade stainless steel interior. It does not have a chemical non-stick coating, which allows for better searing and browning of meats.
The pan features Cuisinart's Cool Grip riveted handles, which are designed to remain comfortable during stovetop use. However, they will become hot if the pan is used in the oven or under a broiler, so you should always use oven mitts.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, you can easily remove stubborn residue by soaking it in warm, soapy water or using a stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using steel wool or harsh abrasive pads, as these can scratch the finish.
The triple-ply design sandwiches a core of pure aluminum between two layers of stainless steel. This construction provides superior heat conductivity and eliminates hot spots, ensuring even cooking across the bottom and sides of the pan.
