Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum to provide consistent, even heat across the entire surface of the pan. This eliminates hot spots, ensuring your food browns uniformly without needing to constantly shift the pan.
Yes, the exterior layer is specifically designed to be magnetic, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
While it lacks a non-stick coating, the high-quality 18/10 stainless steel is dishwasher safe. For stubborn residue, a quick soak or a gentle scrub with a stainless steel cleaner will restore the finish easily.
Absolutely. The pan is oven and broiler safe up to 500°F, allowing you to sear a protein on the stove and finish it in the oven without switching cookware.
The handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions. However, it will become hot if used inside the oven, so you should always use an oven mitt when removing it.
The flared edges are engineered for drip-free pouring. This makes it much easier to transfer sauces, pan juices, or liquids out of the pan without spilling over the sides.
