Know before you buy
Yes, the pan features an aluminum disc bottom specifically designed to be compatible with all cooktop surfaces, including induction, gas, electric, glass, ceramic, and halogen.
Absolutely. The pan is oven safe up to 500°F, making it ideal for searing meats or finishing dishes that require a transition from the burner to the oven.
The 4-quart capacity means the pan can become quite heavy when full. The riveted helper handle provides extra stability and safety when lifting or moving the pan from the stovetop to the counter.
Like all high-quality 18-10 stainless steel cookware, this pan requires proper preheating and the use of a little oil or butter to prevent sticking. It is not a non-stick pan, but it offers superior durability and browning capabilities.
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the polished exterior finish and prevent potential water spots, hand washing with mild soap is often recommended.
The pan is designed with deep, straight sides to accommodate 4 quarts of volume. This depth is specifically engineered to prevent splashing and splattering when you are sautéing, braising, or preparing stews.
