Overview
A home cook feeding a mid-sized table gets an eighteen inch stainless pan in a mirror finish with gold handles and the classic dimpled bottom. The stainless steel is rigid, and the pan is made for rice dishes.
Looks and low upkeep are the pitch: the polished surface suits hanging on a pot rack, and nothing needs seasoning. The limit is thin single-ply metal, which overheats over a flame when empty and is not built for searing.
Who it's for
Family cooks and hosts who serve paella to a midsize crowd and prefer washing to seasoning. Buyers wanting a heavy searing surface, or induction compatibility, should look to a thicker pan.
Pros and cons
- Mirror stainless finish
- No seasoning needed
- Rigid 18/8 stainless steel
- Gold handles and dimpled bottom
- Thin single-ply metal
- Not for high-heat sautéing
- Induction not listed
Performance notes
Stainless steel in a single thin layer heats fast and reacts quickly to the burner, so rice cooks best with liquid already in the pan. The dimpled bottom stiffens the metal. Left over a direct flame with nothing in it, the pan overheats.
