Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features a three-layer aluminum core sandwiched between stainless steel. This design ensures heat travels quickly and evenly across the entire base and up the sides of the pan, which helps prevent hot spots and ensures consistent searing.
Yes, the pan features a magnetic stainless steel exterior specifically designed to work with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, halogen, and ceramic ranges.
Yes, this skillet is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
No, this is a traditional stainless steel pan, not a non-stick surface. It requires proper preheating and the use of cooking fats to prevent food from sticking, but it is highly durable and ideal for developing fond when deglazing.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel over time.
The pan features an ergonomic, riveted stainless steel handle designed to stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, you should always use an oven mitt when removing the pan from the oven or broiler.
