Know before you buy
The tri-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design allows the pan to heat up quickly and distribute that heat evenly across the entire surface, preventing hot spots that can cause uneven searing.
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and glass ranges.
Absolutely. The pan is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it ideal for finishing steaks or other dishes that require a high-heat sear followed by a roast.
While the pan is durable, harsh dishwasher detergents and high-pressure water cycles can dull the stainless steel finish over time. Handwashing with warm, soapy water is the best way to preserve the pan's appearance and performance.
The Y-shaped design is specifically engineered to minimize heat transfer from the pan body to the handle. While it will stay cooler than a solid metal handle, it is still recommended to use an oven mitt when cooking over high heat for extended periods.
