Deeper than a traditional frying pan, this sauté pan features a large surface for cooking and tall, straight sides to prevent splattering. Ideal for chicken dishes, mixed vegetables and fish fillets, the pan sears, cooks and deglazes all in one pan. Offering maximum efficiency through modern technology, the d5 pan bonds five distinct layers in a perfect harmony of cooking performance. The pan features a patented, three-layer aluminum and steel core that propels heat sideways, eliminating hot spots and driving through the entire pan, not just the base. The stainless steel interior is non-reactive, and the magnetic exterior layer is well suited to induction cooktops as well as traditional gas and electric stoves.
