Know before you buy
Tri-ply clad means the pan is constructed with an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design is superior because it allows heat to conduct quickly and evenly across the entire surface of the pan, not just the base, which helps prevent hot spots and scorching.
Yes, this braiser is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass. The stainless steel exterior is magnetic, making it perfectly suited for induction ranges.
Yes, it is oven-safe up to 500°F. Because the entire piece, including the handle and lid, is made of stainless steel, you can safely move it from the stovetop directly into a hot oven to finish dishes like braised short ribs or roasted vegetables.
Stainless steel requires a slightly different technique than nonstick cookware. To prevent sticking, preheat the pan over medium heat before adding your oil or fat, and ensure your food is at room temperature before placing it in the pan.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the mirror-polished finish of the stainless steel over the long term, hand washing with warm, soapy water is generally recommended.
Yes, the lid is designed to fit precisely, which effectively traps moisture and heat inside. This is essential for braising, as it allows the steam to circulate and keep your ingredients tender during the cooking process.
