Know before you buy
This pan is not non-stick and does not come pre-seasoned. Because it is made of high-quality 316Ti stainless steel, you will need to use a bit of oil or fat and manage your heat carefully to prevent sticking.
Yes, the 5-ply construction is fully induction-compatible. It is designed to work efficiently on all stovetop types, including gas, electric, and glass-top ranges.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the mirror-polished exterior and the integrity of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
This pan is exceptionally heat-tolerant and is oven-safe up to 800° F. It is also safe to use under the broiler for finishing dishes like paella or gratins.
No, the pan is completely free of chemical coatings. It is made from surgical-grade 316Ti stainless steel, ensuring no PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, or PFOS are present in your cooking surface.
The handles are designed to be ergonomic and stay cooler than the pan body during standard stovetop use. However, because they are made of stainless steel, they will get hot if the pan is placed in the oven or under the broiler, so always use oven mitts.
