Know before you buy
Yes, the MineralShield technology is specifically engineered to be metal-utensil-safe. While it is durable enough to withstand metal spoons and spatulas, using silicone or wood tools will still help extend the life of the nonstick coating.
No, this set is designed for gas, electric, and glass-top stoves. It does not contain the magnetic base required for induction cooking.
These pans are oven-safe up to 450°F. This makes them suitable for finishing dishes like frittatas or searing meats that need to be transferred from the stovetop to the oven.
The handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, if you are using the pans in the oven, the handles will become hot and you should always use oven mitts.
Yes, this set is dishwasher-safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand-washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is generally recommended for any nonstick cookware to preserve the coating's performance over the long term.
The Premier line features MineralShield technology, which is designed to be 40% more durable than the Classic line. It offers a more robust nonstick surface that is specifically tested to handle metal utensils.
