Viking Contemporary Fry Pan

The 3-ply construction features a core of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design allows for rapid, even heat distribution across the entire surface of the pan, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven browning.

While the triple-layer nonstick coating is durable, we recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to extend the life of the surface. Metal tools can scratch or compromise the nonstick performance over time.

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops. The stainless steel exterior is magnetic, allowing it to work efficiently with induction technology as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass ranges.

The ergonomic stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, it can become hot if used in the oven or if exposed to direct flames, so it is always best to keep a potholder nearby.

The angled sides are designed to make flipping food easier and to allow for better airflow, which helps moisture evaporate faster. This shape is particularly useful for sautéing vegetables or sliding an omelet out of the pan onto a plate.
