Chantal Induction 21 Steel Chef's Pan

Yes, the pan is constructed from Japanese 21/0 stainless steel, which is specifically engineered to be nickel-free. This makes it an excellent choice for those with nickel sensitivities.

Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 425°F. Please note that while the pan itself can handle higher temperatures, the tempered glass lid may have different heat limitations, so it is best to check the manufacturer's guidelines before using the lid in the oven.

No, this is a professional-grade stainless steel pan without any nonstick coatings. It relies on proper heat management and seasoning to prevent sticking, which also means you don't have to worry about coatings flaking off over time.

The copper core is infused into the steel to provide superior heat conductivity. This allows the pan to heat up quickly and distribute that heat evenly across the base, helping to eliminate hot spots during cooking.

The pan weighs 6 lbs on its own. Because it features a single long handle rather than a helper handle, you may find it requires two hands to maneuver safely when it is filled to its 5-quart capacity.

Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel, hand washing with mild soap is generally recommended.
