Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features alternating layers of stainless steel and aluminum, which allows for rapid, even heat distribution across the entire surface. This eliminates hot spots and provides precise temperature control, making it ideal for delicate tasks like simmering sauces or searing proteins.
The curved, splayed sides are specifically designed to provide ample room for a whisk or spatula, making it easier to stir, fold, and reduce liquids. This shape is particularly useful for tasks that require frequent movement, such as making risottos or emulsified sauces.
Yes, the hammered finish adds structural rigidity to the stainless steel, which helps the pan resist warping over time. It also helps to hide minor surface scratches that may occur with heavy daily use.
Yes, the cast stainless steel handles are oven-safe and designed to stay cooler on the stovetop longer than standard metal handles. Because they are riveted directly to the pan, they provide a secure, ergonomic grip for maneuvering the vessel.
Yes, the magnetic stainless steel exterior makes this pan fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
