Know before you buy
Yes, the encapsulated aluminum base is designed to be compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass stovetops.
The stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions. However, they will get hot if used in the oven or if the flame is high enough to extend up the sides of the pan.
Yes, the entire set is dishwasher safe. For the best longevity and to maintain the mirror finish, hand washing with a soft sponge is still recommended.
This cookware is oven safe up to 500°F (260°C), making it suitable for searing on the stove and finishing dishes in the oven.
Yes, the lids are designed to fit snugly to lock in moisture and nutrients. Because they are stainless steel rather than glass, you will need to lift them to check on your food's progress.
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as overheating, dropping, or improper cleaning.
