Signature Select™ Fry Pans were designed with the help of leading culinary experts. The 18-10 stainless steel cookware's permanently bonded aluminum base heats quickly and evenly. The three-ply clad base is over 1/3" thick for superior heat diffusion on either induction or conventional cook tops. Stainless clad bottom resists denting and scratching. Reinforced edge strengthens fry pan for longer life and the sloped sides are ideal for turning, flipping, and removing foods. Hollow tubular stainless steel handles stay cool to the touch. Unique pipe plate system welded to the sidewall of the fry pan insulates handles from direct contact with heat. Easy clean satin finish interior. 18" fry pan has additional side handle for easier, safer lifting.
