Know before you buy
The tri-ply construction sandwiches an aluminum core between two layers of stainless steel. This design allows the pan to heat up quickly and evenly across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven searing.
Yes, this fry pan is oven safe up to 425 °F. This makes it a great choice for recipes that require starting on the stovetop and finishing in the oven.
The handle is designed to be ergonomic and stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, if you are using the pan in the oven, the handle will become hot, so you should always use an oven mitt.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
While the pan itself is oven safe up to 425 °F, the glass lid is generally intended for stovetop use to monitor your food. We recommend checking your specific oven settings and avoiding high-heat broiling with the lid attached.
To keep the polished exterior looking its best, wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn spots or heat discoloration, a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water works effectively.
