Know before you buy
Yes, the MultiClad Pro features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
The skillet features a Cool Grip™ handle designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, if you are using the pan in the oven, the handle will become hot and you should use an oven mitt.
Yes, this skillet is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient for cleanup, hand washing is generally recommended for all stainless steel cookware to maintain its original luster over time.
The pure aluminum core is sandwiched between layers of stainless steel to provide rapid, even heat distribution. This prevents hot spots and ensures your food browns consistently across the entire surface of the pan.
The 8-inch skillet is best suited for smaller tasks like frying eggs, searing a single protein, or sautéing side dishes. If you frequently cook for more than two people, you may want to consider a larger size for more workspace.
Yes, the rim is tapered to allow for a clean, controlled pour. It effectively prevents liquid from running down the side of the pan when you are transferring sauces or pan drippings.
