Know before you buy
This construction features a core of conductive aluminum sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. It allows the pan to heat up quickly and evenly across the entire surface, preventing the hot spots often found in thinner, single-ply cookware.
Yes, the D3 Everyday set is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric. The magnetic stainless steel exterior ensures it will work efficiently with induction burners.
While the stainless steel is durable enough for the dishwasher, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the polished finish and prevent long-term dulling.
The D3 Everyday collection is specifically designed with a wider skillet surface area and more ergonomic, comfortable handles. Additionally, the lids in this set are designed to be interchangeable with other pieces in the D3 Everyday line for added convenience.
Absolutely. This set is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it ideal for starting a sear on the stove and finishing it in the oven.
Stainless steel is not a non-stick surface, so it requires proper heat management and a small amount of oil or fat to prevent sticking. Once you master the technique of preheating the pan before adding ingredients, it provides an excellent sear that non-stick pans cannot replicate.
