Know before you buy
This skillet is best suited for smaller tasks like frying two eggs, searing a single protein, or sautéing side dishes for one or two people. If you frequently cook for a family or need to sear multiple large cuts of meat at once, you may want to consider a larger diameter pan.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the finish. For stubborn stuck-on food, a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water works effectively without damaging the surface.
Yes, the ProBond skillet is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric. The tri-ply construction ensures efficient heat transfer across all heat sources.
The flush rivets sit flat against the interior wall of the pan, which prevents food from getting trapped around the hardware. This makes the skillet significantly easier to clean and prevents buildup that can occur in traditional raised-rivet designs.
Yes, the entire skillet, including the stainless steel handle, is oven safe up to 600°F. Just remember to use an oven mitt or towel when removing it, as the handle will become hot during use.
The ProCore aluminum core is designed for rapid and even heat distribution throughout the entire pan. This helps eliminate hot spots, ensuring that your food browns consistently across the entire cooking surface.
