Know before you buy
This means the pan is constructed with five layers of metal—typically stainless steel surrounding an aluminum core—that extend from the base all the way up the sides. This design ensures heat is distributed evenly across the entire surface, preventing hot spots and allowing for consistent searing and browning.
Yes. The pan is made from high-quality stainless steel and contains no PFAS, PTFE, Teflon, PFOA, or other chemical non-stick coatings. You get a pure cooking surface that won't degrade or release fumes at high temperatures.
Yes, the Heritage Steel 4-Qt Saute Pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
Yes, the pan is oven and broiler safe up to 800°F. Because it is constructed entirely of metal with no plastic components, it can handle high-heat tasks like finishing a dish under the broiler without damage.
The handle is designed to stay cool during normal stovetop use, though it will get hot if the pan is placed inside the oven. We recommend using an oven mitt or towel whenever you are moving the pan from the oven or broiler.
While the stainless steel is durable, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and performance of the metal over time. Harsh dishwasher detergents can dull the exterior and potentially affect the rivets or handle attachments.
