Know before you buy
Yes, the D3 Stainless construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric smooth tops.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel.
This saucepan and its lid are oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes.
The stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions. However, they will become hot if used in the oven or under a broiler, so always use oven mitts.
This set includes the 3-quart stainless steel saucepan with its matching stainless steel lid and a dedicated potato masher.
The tri-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design ensures rapid, even heat distribution across the bottom and up the sides of the pan, which prevents hot spots when simmering sauces or cooking grains.
