Saute, sear and brown with ease in a skillet that excels at high-temperature cooking. The three-ply construction layers stainless steel on each side of a thick-gauge aluminum core for warp resistance and excellent heat distribution in the oven and on all types of stovetops. The nonreactive interior sears impeccably and won't impart a metallic taste to food. A cross between a fry pan and a saute pan, the depth of this French skillet accommodates generous quantities of food, helpfully contains cooking liquids and makes stirring easier.
