Vigor SS1 Series 2-Piece Induction Ready Stainless Steel Fry Pan Set - 8" and 9 1/2" Frying Pans

The top diameter is the measurement across the pan, from the interior of one side of the rim to the other. These measurements are approximate because many frying pans and woks have a curved upper rim, making precise measurement difficult. The standard naming convention uses top diameter, so while multiple brands may offer a 10" pan, there may be slight variations in size between each brand's 10" pan or wok.

A riveted handle is connected by small metal pieces (called rivets) that are crushed between the handle and the pan body to attach them together. This type of handle is more common on copper and aluminum cookware.

For a handle to be welded, the metal must first be melted and then adhered to the pan body. This creates a strong bond that leaves little to no space in between, so bacteria and other food crumbs can’t collect and cause sanitation issues. Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.

Vigor Cookware is designed with a very slight concave bottom surface to allow the metal to expand when heating up without warping. This feature allows for the cookware to still be induction-compatible and will ensure optimal operating temperature when in use.
