Tri-ply Clad metal construction is a combination of 18/10 stainless steel with an aluminum core, creating a permanent bond of metal allowing heat to pass through the whole pan along the bottom and up. The sidewall gives you maximum cooking performance. The Cook N Home Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Skillet Fry Pan 10-inch has a riveted handle for strength and an open V-shaped design (patented) with air-flow technology that keeps the handle cooler and more comfortable to hold. Induction compatible can be used on all types of stovetop, gas, electric, ceramic glass; oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit; glass lid 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Dishwasher safe; hand washing is recommended.
