Le Creuset Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Nonstick Fry Pan

Yes, this pan is dishwasher safe. However, to extend the lifespan of the nonstick coating, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge whenever possible.

While the nonstick coating is durable, using metal utensils can scratch or degrade the surface over time. We recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon tools to keep the pan in the best condition.

The riveted stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking. However, if you are using the pan in the oven or under a broiler, the handle will become hot and you should always use an oven mitt.

This pan is excellent for searing, but keep in mind that nonstick coatings generally perform best over low to medium heat. For high-heat searing where you want a deep crust, a traditional stainless steel or cast iron pan is often a better choice.

While the nonstick surface is designed for easy food release, using a small amount of oil or butter helps improve browning and flavor. You do not need to use excessive amounts, but a light coating is recommended for the best results.

Yes, the tri-ply stainless steel construction is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric smooth tops.
