Technical materials for even, responsive cooking

The skirt of this frying pan is made of solid 18/10 stainless steel, a material renowned for :

• Its high resistance to oxidation and high temperatures
• Its easy maintenance: dishwasher-safe without losing its shine

Underneath the satin-finish surface of the skirt is a triple-thickness thermodiffuser insert to ensure even cooking:

• Aluminum

• : rapid, even heat diffusion
• Magnetic stainless steel exterior: all-ring compatibility, including induction

This technical base withstands high heat without deformation and can be used in ovens up to +300°C, ideal for browning, gratinating or finishing cooking.
