Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features alternating layers of stainless steel that extend from the base up the sides of the pan. This design ensures rapid, even heat distribution, which eliminates hot spots and prevents your food from burning in certain areas while remaining undercooked in others.
No, this stainless steel pan does not require seasoning. Because it has no chemical coatings, you can achieve a non-stick effect by properly preheating the pan on medium heat before adding your oil and ingredients.
While most home ovens don't reach 800°F, this high heat tolerance confirms the pan's exceptional durability and material quality. It means you can confidently use the pan under a high-heat broiler or on a professional-grade grill without worrying about the metal warping or the handle failing.
Yes, because the handle is made of stainless steel, it will conduct heat if left over a burner for an extended period. We recommend keeping a kitchen towel or oven mitt nearby when handling the pan during stovetop use.
Yes, this pan is fully induction compatible. The magnetic stainless steel exterior is designed to work efficiently with the electromagnetic fields of induction burners.
For stubborn residue, you can use a stainless steel cleaner or a paste made of baking soda and water. Avoid using steel wool or harsh abrasive scrubbers, as these can scratch the polished finish of the stainless steel.
