Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the non-stick coating and the hard-anodized finish, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
No, this specific hard-anodized line is designed for gas and electric smooth-top ranges. It does not contain the magnetic base required for induction cooking.
The stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, they will get hot if used in the oven, so always use oven mitts when handling them after baking or broiling.
This cookware is completely free of PFOA. While it uses a high-performance non-stick coating, it is formulated to be a safe, durable surface for everyday cooking.
You can safely use these pans in the oven at temperatures up to 500°F. This makes them versatile enough to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven.
Yes, the cookware is engineered to nest efficiently, which significantly reduces the cabinet footprint compared to traditional sets. Just be mindful to use pan protectors or soft cloths between pieces to prevent scratching the non-stick surfaces.
