Copper Core Induction Skillet with Five-Ply Construction for Even Heating and Stovetop-to-Oven Cooking
A copper core induction skillet brings responsive heat control to browning, searing and sautéing. Hestan CopperBond combines five-ply bonded construction with a pure copper core to heat quickly and distribute heat evenly, while the nonreactive 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface keeps food in contact with stainless steel.
The skillet works on all cooktops, including induction, and can move into the oven or under the broiler at temperatures up to 600°F. Flush handle rivets reduce places where food can collect and make nesting easier, while reinforced, flared rims help with pouring. Choose the small, medium or large skillet to suit your cooking needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this copper core skillet be used on an induction cooktop?
Yes. This copper core skillet has an induction-compatible stainless steel base and is suitable for all cooktops. The induction contact diameters are 5.75 inches for small, 8 inches for medium and 9.5 inches for large.
Can I finish a dish in the oven or under the broiler?
Yes. This skillet is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, so you can sear on the stovetop and finish cooking in the oven within that temperature limit.
Which skillet size should I choose?
Choose the small 8.5-inch skillet for smaller cooking tasks or the medium 11-inch skillet for more room to spread food out. The large size offers another step up in the range. These are separate size selections rather than a three-pan set.
How should I clean the skillet and care for the copper finish?
Hand-wash this skillet and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool, scouring pads and harsh detergents. Copper naturally develops a patina; copper polish can restore its shine. Dishwasher use is not recommended.
