About this item THE PAN. THE MYTH. THE LEGEND. Legend stainless steel copper core cookware is built to last a lifetime. Designed from the inside out, this high quality frying pan is perfect for serious home cooks, and great for novices to learn on. The 5 layers are chosen for rapid heating & retention, even heating, heat conductivity, and cooking stability. The handles firmly riveted on, making them ideal for soups, stews, roasts, braises, and other heavy dishes on any stovetop. EASY TO CLEAN & CARE FOR. To maintain the quality of your Legend cookware, allow to cool completely to room temperature. Clean with dish detergent and a sponge or soft mesh scrubber. To maintain luster, polish with water or baking soda and a mild acid, like vinegar or lemon juice. Dishwasher safe, but handwashing is best. Stainless steel copper core pots & pans require no special handling, unlike cast iron, pure copperware, enameled and nonstick clad cookware. GENUINE 5 PLY DESIGN. Each layer of premium metal serves a purpose: 304 stainless steel for safe, easy-clean cooking; a thick copper core for rapid, reliable conductivity; aluminum layer A & B; and 430 magnetic steel for performance on all cooktops. The aluminum layers help reduce the weight of the sturdy copper layer. Heat distribution to handles may occur over long periods of high temperature cooking. Make sure to use a potholder when grasping handles. The 5” Quart stainless steel copper core frying saute pan with a heavy, custom-fitted lid can be used with any kitchen setup: electric, gas, glass, or induction. It can go from stovetop to oven, for true one-pot meal cooking. Oven safe up to 450°F. Lid handles may heat up rapidly, use potholder when lifting. NO NEED FOR NON-STICK COATING. Just let pots and pans get hot, then add a healthy cooking oil like safflower or olive oil, and you can sauté vegetables or fry a steak to perfection. No need to worry about health risks when cooking at high heat, such as with traditional cheap non stick coating. There's also no need to painstakingly craft your own coating and baby it, like with cast iron. Just cook, clean, and put it away. Heavy duty quality from cookware designed for easy daily use.
