Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction, which alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum, ensures rapid and uniform heat distribution. This eliminates hot spots and provides precise temperature control, which is essential for searing and delicate cooking.
Yes, the pan features a ferritic stainless steel exterior, making it fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and halogen.
Absolutely. The pan is oven and broiler safe at temperatures up to 572°F, allowing you to finish dishes like frittatas or seared steaks in the oven without changing cookware.
The oval shape is particularly well-suited for cooking elongated items like whole fish, large chicken breasts, or multiple chops that might not fit comfortably in a standard round skillet.
To preserve the finish and integrity of the 5-ply construction, this pan should be hand washed only. Avoid using harsh abrasives to maintain the polished exterior.
The brushed cast stainless steel handle is designed for durability and a comfortable grip. While it is heat-resistant, it may become warm during long cooking sessions, so we recommend using an oven mitt or towel for safety.
