Cuisinart FusionPlus Hybrid Stainless Steel 3.5 Quart Saute Pan with Lid and Helper Handle, PURELYSEAR Hybrid Searing Surface, Oven Safe, Cool Grip, Induction Compatible

The Cuisinart FusionPlus Hybrid Stainless Steel 3.5 Quart Sauté Pan with Lid and Helper Handle is designed for cooking that develops depth—searing, deglazing, braising, and simmering in one pan. The high straight walls help contain liquids, making it ideal for sauces and one-pan meals. FusionPlus features PFAS-free* PURELYSEAR technology, a hybrid cooking surface with raised stainless steel peaks and ceramic valleys. Food cooks on stainless steel for effective searing, caramelization, and fond development, while the ceramic valleys help support easier release and simplify cleanup. For best performance, use FusionPlus like stainless steel cookware. Preheat the pan over medium-low to medium heat for about 2 minutes, add oil or butter, allow it to warm, then add food. Proper preheating improves release and helps build browning before adding liquids for braising or sauces. An aluminum core encapsulated in stainless steel through the base provides fast, even heat. The cast stainless steel Cool Grip handle with V-flange design stays comfortable on the stovetop, while the riveted helper handle supports steady two-hand lifting—especially useful when transferring from stovetop to oven. Compatible with gas, electric, glass-top, and induction stovetops. Oven safe to 500°F (lid 450°F). Dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup, though hand washing helps maintain the finish over time. From seared proteins to simmered sauces and braised dishes, FusionPlus is built for techniques that layer flavor within a single pan. *No intentionally added PFAS
