Cook N Home Stainless Steel Saucepan

It means the pan is built with an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel that extends all the way up the sides, not just on the base. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the entire surface, which helps prevent scorching and hot spots when you're simmering sauces or soups.

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass ranges.

The pan itself is oven-safe up to 500°F, but the tempered glass lid is only rated for temperatures up to 350°F. If you are roasting or baking at higher temperatures, you will need to remove the lid.

The patented V-shaped design is engineered to minimize heat transfer from the pan to the handle, so it stays significantly cooler than a standard solid handle while you're cooking on the stovetop. However, it can still get warm depending on your burner size and cooking duration, so it is always a good idea to keep an oven mitt nearby.

Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel, hand washing with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge is generally recommended.
