Our verdict

A polished clad saucepan for rice, custards and stews that moves from any cooktop to the oven or broiler. The stainless surface is not nonstick, and the mirror finish wants gentle cleaning.

Overview

An aluminum ProCore bonded inside tri-ply stainless steel spreads heat through this lidded saucepan. Sealed rims guard against delamination, a magnetic base works on induction, and a seamless handle with flush rivets leaves no crevice for food.

Clad construction, an induction-ready base and a high oven rating make one pan that handles stovetop simmering and finishing under the broiler. The limits are a plain stainless cooking surface instead of a nonstick one, and a polished exterior that rules out abrasive cleansers and scouring pads.

Who it's for

Cooks on induction or gas who want one saucepan that also goes under the broiler get a sealed pan backed by a long warranty. Those who need eggs and delicate sauces to slide off a coated surface should choose a nonstick pan instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Aluminum core inside tri-ply stainless
  • Sealed rims prevent delamination
  • Seamless handle has no food-trapping crevice
  • Flush rivets wipe clean
Cons
  • Stainless surface, not a nonstick coating
  • Avoid abrasive cleansers and metal scouring pads
  • Weighs 2.14 kg
  • Lid material not listed

Performance notes

Heat spread comes from the aluminum core bonded between stainless layers, which evens out hot spots from the burner below. Induction cooktops work through the magnetic stainless base. Because the cooking surface is bare stainless, results with sticky foods depend on heat control rather than a coating.
