Saute Pan PurelySear Hybrid (5-quart Saute Pan)

The Cuisinart FusionPlus Hybrid Stainless Steel 5 Quart Sauté Pan with Lid and Helper Handle is designed for larger-scale cooking that builds flavor—searing, deglazing, braising, and simmering in one pan. The generous capacity and high straight walls make it ideal for family-sized meals and one-pan recipes. 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 helpful when transferring a full pan 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 searing multiple portions to simmering sauces and finishing large dishes under the lid, FusionPlus is built for cooking techniques that develop depth and flavor at scale. *No intentionally added PFAS
