Know before you buy
Yes, the MultiClad Pro series features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen ranges.
The set features riveted, stay-cool stainless steel handles designed to remain comfortable to the touch during standard stovetop use. However, they will become hot if used inside the oven.
Yes, the entire set is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing with warm, soapy water is often recommended to maintain the polished stainless steel finish over time.
This set is oven safe up to 550°F, allowing you to easily transition from searing on the stovetop to finishing dishes in a hot oven or under a broiler.
Because this is high-quality stainless steel rather than non-stick, it is best to preheat the pan before adding oil or food. Using a moderate heat setting and ensuring the pan is properly heated will help prevent food from sticking.
The triple-ply construction sandwiches a pure aluminum core between two layers of stainless steel. This design ensures rapid, even heat distribution across the bottom and up the sides of the pans, eliminating hot spots.
