Overview
A thick aluminum core is bonded between layers of stainless steel in this D3 saute pan, spreading heat from the base up to the rim. Tall, straight sides hold in juices and prevent splatter, and the lid closes the pan for oven finishing.
Searing, deglazing and finishing in the oven all in one pan is the reason to buy. The care instruction says hand wash only while the description mentions dishwasher convenience, and the pan is heavy to lift when full.
Who it's for
Home cooks with gas, electric or induction stoves who cook stir-fries, chicken breasts, fish and pan sauces. People who want eggs without sticking, or a very light pan, should look at nonstick cookware.
Pros and cons
- Even heat to the rim
- Lid for oven finishing
- Works on induction
- Made in the USA
- Hand wash only per care field
- Heavy when loaded
- Food can stick without enough oil
Performance notes
The aluminum core draws heat quickly and the stainless layers spread it across the base and sides, so browning is even. Food sticks at first and then releases once a crust has formed, which signals it is ready to turn. The lid holds in heat and moisture for finishing on the stove or in the oven.
