Titanium Series 13.5" French Skillet

Heritage Steel Titanium Series 13.5" French Skillet

A large, American-made stainless steel skillet built for cooks who want serious searing power, a coating-free cooking surface, and a pan that lasts a lifetime. The 13.5" footprint gives you a wide, flat cooking area for crepes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, and big-batch sautés, while the 5-ply fully clad construction delivers the even heat and high-heat recovery that proteins and family-size meals demand.

Non-Toxic, PFAS-Free Cooking Surface

This is bare, titanium-strengthened stainless steel with no chemical coatings of any kind. There is no Teflon, no PTFE, no PFOA, PFOS, or PFAS, no ceramic sol-gel, and no nanoparticles. For anyone moving away from nonstick pans over cookware safety concerns, this is exactly the kind of surface you can heat hard and use daily without worrying about coatings breaking down or flaking into your food.

316Ti Marine-Grade Stainless Interior

The cooking surface is 316Ti, a titanium-strengthened, marine-grade stainless steel that resists pitting and salt corrosion far better than the standard 304 stainless found in most clad cookware. That matters in real kitchens: you can deglaze, simmer acidic tomato and wine sauces, and scrub aggressively without degrading the surface. It is a more durable, more corrosion-resistant interior than what you get from typical "tri-ply" stainless pans.

5-Ply Fully Clad Construction

The pan is fully clad with five bonded layers and roughly 2.8 mm of total thickness, so heat moves evenly across the entire pan rather than just the base. That even heating eliminates the hot spots that cause uneven browning, and the mass holds temperature when you drop in cold steaks or a full load of vegetables. This is the construction that separates restaurant-grade clad cookware from thin, warp-prone budget pans.

High-Heat Searing and Oven Performance

Oven safe to approximately 800°F and broiler safe, this skillet handles temperatures most nonstick and standard home pans cannot survive. Sear a steak on the stovetop, then move the entire pan straight into a hot oven to finish. The sloped sides give you easy access for turning and flipping while keeping a large contact area for maximum browning.

Works on Every Cooktop, Including Induction

Fully induction compatible and rated for gas, electric, and ceramic glass cooktops. Whatever your range, this pan delivers fast, responsive heat and quick recovery when you add cold ingredients.

Built for Big-Batch Cooking

With about a 10.5" flat cooking surface, you get far more usable space than a typical 10" or 12" skillet. The roughly 1.5" body depth sits between a shallow fry pan and a sauté pan, making it ideal for weekend breakfasts, family stir-fries, and meals where evaporation area matters. The stay-cool hollow main handle and a helper handle on this size give you secure control when the pan is full and heavy.

Made in the USA, Designed to Be Your Last Skillet

The skillet is fully manufactured at Heritage Steel's factory in Clarksville, Tennessee, using American-sourced steel. This is a buy-it-for-life pan: no coating to wear out, no replacement cycle, just high-quality clad stainless that keeps performing for decades.

How to Keep Food From Sticking on Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is not a "drop and walk away" surface like nonstick, and that is by design. Preheat the empty pan over medium until a drop of water beads and dances across the surface, then add your oil, then add your food. Let proteins build a crust and release naturally before you try to move them. Done right, you get a beautiful sear and a fond that turns into incredible pan sauces, with the easy cleanup that comes from a non-porous stainless surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this skillet non-toxic and PFAS-free?

Yes. The cooking surface is bare 316Ti stainless steel with no nonstick coatings, no PFAS, no PTFE, and no PFOA. There is nothing on the surface that can chip, flake, or off-gas.

Is it induction compatible?

Yes. The fully clad stainless construction works on induction as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass cooktops.

What is the difference between 316Ti and regular stainless steel?

316Ti is a titanium-strengthened, marine-grade stainless steel that resists pitting and salt corrosion better than the standard 304 stainless used in most cookware. It stands up to acidic foods, deglazing, and heavy daily use with less wear.

Can I put this pan in the oven?

Yes. It is oven safe to approximately 800°F and broiler safe, so you can sear on the stovetop and finish in the oven.

How do I stop eggs and fish from sticking?

Preheat the pan, add oil once it is hot, and let food release naturally before turning. With proper heat control, stainless steel handles even delicate items well and rewards you with excellent browning and easy cleanup.

Where is it made?

It is manufactured in the United States at Heritage Steel's facility in Clarksville, Tennessee, using American-sourced steel.
