Perfect for stews, soups and one-pot meals, this professional-grade pan features a hybrid design combining a flared chef's pan and lidded sauté pan for ultimate versatility. Its wide base is designed to sear and sauté at high heat, and the sloped sides contain liquids while stirring or browning. Triple-ply pan is made with an extra-thick, pure aluminum core that extends from the bottom all the way up the sides for superior heat performance. Bonded to the aluminum core is a hand-polished stainless interior with a starburst finish that's naturally stick resistant and nonreactive. A magnetic stainless exterior polished to a high shine. Tight-fitting stainless lid locks in heat, moisture and flavor, adding steaming, braising and warming capabilities to the mix. The long, securely riveted stainless handle stays cool while cooking. This pan is perfect for everyday use with traditional electric or gas ranges, as well as induction cooktops.
