Know before you buy
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating and the stainless steel exterior, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
While the surface is described as scratch-resistant, we strongly recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils. Avoiding metal tools will significantly extend the lifespan of the PTFE nonstick coating.
The stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, because the pan is oven-safe up to 500°F, you should always use an oven mitt when removing it from the oven.
Yes, the D3 Pro features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
The tri-ply construction sandwiches a responsive aluminum core between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design eliminates hot spots and ensures consistent, even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
This pan utilizes a professional-grade PTFE nonstick coating. While it is highly effective for food release, it is not PFOA-free.
