This frying pan's stainless steel sidewalls are 1.2 mm thick (in comparison to the usual 0.8-1 mm in cheaper brands), so it is not easily dented. The surface is resistant to corrosion and rust while metal utensils can be used without issue.

This skillet has a very thick 7 mm aluminum disc base clad with steel. As a result, the heat distributes evenly, there are no hot spots, and the ability to retain heat is very high.

When cold, this skillet has a concave bottom, which goes flat when expanding with heat. That way it avoids warping, which is quite frequent to stainless steel skillets used on a ceramic glass electric stovetop.

The Grand Paderno can be used with these heat sources: gas/electric/induction stove-tops, oven, and broiler.

This frying pan is suitable for a variety of uses like searing, sautéing, flambéing, braising, and making sauces.

The stainless steel handle of this skillet is hollow, engineered to stay cool even when the skillet itself gets very hot.

This skillet's handle is welded on, so the inside surface is even and undisrupted by rivet heads. Food residue, grime, and bacteria get in the cracks between the rivet heads and the pan's surface; it can take a lot of work with a fine brush to clean the rivets effectively.

Because of its non-reactive cooking surface, stainless steel can handle any acidic or alkaline food like tomatoes, citrus, wine or pineapple without the metals corroding or leaching.

This skillet can be put in the dishwasher without any concern. If some food is firmly stuck, it can be removed by boiling a little water in the pan.
