Know before you buy
Yes, the diamond crystals provide superior heat conductivity and durability compared to standard non-stick surfaces. This allows the pan to release food easily while resisting scratches and wear over time.
Absolutely. The base is specifically engineered for induction compatibility, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution across all induction surfaces.
Yes, the braiser is oven-safe up to 500°F. Just be sure to use oven mitts, as the handle may become hot during extended oven use.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating for as long as possible.
Pressure casting eliminates air pockets in the metal, which prevents warping and ensures the pan heats evenly. This eliminates hot spots, allowing for consistent results when searing or slow-cooking.
The vented glass lid allows you to monitor your food without lifting the lid and losing heat or moisture. The vent also helps prevent boil-overs by releasing excess steam during the cooking process.
