Stainless steel is what you reach for when you want fond: the browned residue that sticks to the pan and becomes a pan sauce the moment you deglaze it. A nonstick pan cannot do that, because nothing sticks. This one is uncoated by design, with five bonded layers so the heat is even rather than concentrated in a ring under the burner.

What It Is For

Searing, browning, and any dish that ends with a sauce built in the pan. The five-layer construction runs up the sidewalls, not just across the base, so food at the edge cooks at the same rate as food in the middle. It goes into the oven to 500F and takes metal utensils without damage, since there is no coating to scratch.

Getting the Best From Stainless

The technique that makes stainless behave: preheat the empty pan first, then add oil, then add food. Protein will stick at first and release on its own once a crust forms, so leave it alone rather than forcing it early. Use medium heat, avoid overheating an empty pan, and let it cool before washing. A soft sponge or non-scratch pad is enough for daily cleaning, and Bar Keepers Friend restores the shine when it dulls.
