Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features alternating layers of stainless steel and aluminum throughout the entire body of the pan. This design ensures rapid, uniform heat distribution from the base all the way up the sides, which prevents hot spots and provides better control when simmering or braising.
Yes, the magnetic stainless steel exterior makes this rondeau fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
A rondeau is typically wider and shallower than a standard saute pan, with two loop handles rather than one long handle. This shape is specifically designed for browning meat and then adding liquid to braise or stew, making it easier to maneuver in and out of the oven.
The cast stainless steel handles are ergonomically designed to provide a secure, balanced grip. Because they are riveted and designed to stay cool on the stovetop, they allow you to safely move the pan even when it is filled to its 6-quart capacity.
Yes, the all-stainless steel construction makes this rondeau oven-safe. It is an excellent choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, such as pot roasts or braised short ribs.
