HexClad Hybrid Sauté Pan

The hybrid design features a laser-etched stainless steel network that sits above the nonstick surface. This allows you to get the searing power and durability of stainless steel while still benefiting from the easy food release of a nonstick coating.

Yes, the stainless steel peaks protect the nonstick valleys, making the surface durable enough to withstand metal spatulas and whisks. However, using silicone or wood tools will still help extend the life of the nonstick coating over time.

Yes, the pan itself is oven-safe up to 900°F, which is exceptionally high for cookware. Please note that while the pan can handle these temperatures, the tempered glass lid is not rated for that heat and should be removed before putting the pan in a very hot oven.

With a 10-quart capacity and straight, high walls, this pan is significantly deeper than a standard skillet. This design is specifically intended to contain splatters when searing meats and provides enough volume for braising or simmering large batches of sauce.

Yes, the tri-ply construction includes a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.

While it doesn't require the strict seasoning of cast iron, we recommend a light initial seasoning before the first use to optimize the nonstick performance. Beyond that, it is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is generally recommended to keep the exterior looking pristine.
