What is the Eater x Heritage Steel 12-inch Fry Pan made from?
It uses five-ply, fully clad construction throughout the pan. The cooking surface is 304 stainless steel, also called 18/10 stainless; three aluminum layers form the heat-spreading core; and a ferritic 400-series stainless exterior adds magnetic properties for induction cooking. The clad layers extend up the sides as well as across the bottom.
Can this exact 12-inch fry pan be used on induction and in the oven?
Yes. Heritage Steel lists the pan for all common stovetops, including induction. Its product specifications also rate it oven-safe to 800°F and broiler-safe, so the pan can move from stovetop to high-heat oven or broiler within those stated limits.
How should I wash the pan before its first use?
Wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water before cooking in it. Heritage Steel says no special product is required and that you may use the sponge or scrubber you prefer because the pan has no coating to protect. Drying with a soft cloth or towel is optional and mainly helps prevent water spots.
How can I prevent salt pitting in this stainless-steel pan?
Avoid leaving salt and cold water together on the steel without stirring. When bringing water to a boil, Heritage Steel recommends adding salt only after the water is simmering and mixing it in thoroughly. Following that practice helps avoid the salt-pitting damage described in the manufacturer's care guidance.
What does Heritage Steel's lifetime warranty cover for this pan?
For the original purchaser, the warranty covers defects in material and workmanship. A defective piece or component may be repaired or replaced free of charge, subject to the manufacturer's terms. Registration is required within 30 days of the original purchase; factory seconds and clearance products are excluded, as are listed forms of misuse, neglect, accidents, and other damage.
Where is the Eater x Heritage Steel 12-inch Fry Pan made?
The product page identifies this pan as made in Clarksville, Tennessee, and labels it Made in USA with Global Materials. That wording describes the manufacturing location while acknowledging that the materials are sourced globally; it does not claim that every raw material originates in the United States.
