Consider this one investment. Tramontina's 12-in Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Fry Pan with Helper Handle will be your kitchen's workhorse. Reach for it for anything from sauteing and braising to pan-roasting, and old-fashioned frying. Part of Tramontina's Gourmet collection, the tri-ply clad skillet is made of premium 18/10 stainless steel, an aluminum core layer, and a layer of magnetic stainless steel. The construction means the frying pan heats from all sides-not just the bottom. Designed to withstand repeated usage even in the most demanding kitchens, it also features stainless steel ergonomic handles riveted for additional support and easy maneuvering. The fry pan is compatible with all cooktops, including induction, and is oven-safe up to 500°F/260°C. It is made in Brazil.
