Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Saute Casserole

Tri-ply construction means the pan is made of three layers: a durable stainless steel exterior, a conductive aluminum core, and a non-reactive stainless steel interior. This design allows the pan to heat up quickly and evenly, eliminating hot spots that can burn food.

Yes, this casserole is oven-safe up to 550°F. This makes it a great choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, such as braised meats or casseroles.

No, the polished stainless steel interior is non-reactive. It will not discolor or impart a metallic taste to your food, even when you are simmering acidic sauces or deglazing with wine.

The stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, because they are made of metal, they will get hot if the pan is placed in the oven, so you should always use oven mitts when removing it.

While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to maintain the mirror-finish shine of the stainless steel over time. If you do use the dishwasher, ensure you use a gentle cycle to prevent potential surface scratching.

The lid is designed to be tight-fitting, which helps trap steam and moisture inside the pan. This self-basting feature is particularly useful for slow-cooking methods where you want to keep ingredients tender and flavorful.
