The 12" frying pan is Misen's largest skillet, and it's built for the moments that call for real surface area — searing multiple chicken thighs, browning a big batch of vegetables, or reducing a pan sauce without crowding. Its 5-ply construction bonds three layers of steel around two of aluminum at 3.0mm thick, which is what gives it such even heat and resistance to warping over years of high-heat use. The stay-cool handle makes it comfortable to maneuver even during long sears.

Because it's fully stainless steel, it goes from stovetop to oven (up to 800°F) without a second thought, and it's dishwasher-safe when you don't feel like hand-washing. If you cook for a smaller household most nights but occasionally need extra capacity, the 10" + 12" frying pan set gives you both sizes at once. For sauces and reductions that need a smaller vessel with a pouring lip, a stainless steel saucier pairs naturally alongside this pan in a well-rounded lineup.

Like all Misen stainless steel, it isn't naturally nonstick, but a quick temporary seasoning with oil before cooking makes it far more forgiving for eggs or fish. Stubborn stains lift easily with Bar Keeper's Friend or baking soda, and it's backed by Misen's lifetime warranty against defects.
