Know before you buy
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the 5-ply clad construction and the finish of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
Yes, the Cooks Standard butter warmer is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas and other traditional heat sources.
This butter warmer has a capacity of 0.68 quarts, which is approximately 640ml. It is specifically designed for small-scale tasks like melting butter, warming milk, or heating sauces.
Because the handle is made of stainless steel, it can conduct heat if left over a high flame for an extended period. We recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan during or immediately after use.
The 5-ply construction features multiple layers of metal bonded together, which ensures heat is distributed evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan. This prevents hot spots, making it much easier to melt delicate ingredients like butter or chocolate without scorching them.
