Know before you buy
The five layers of stainless steel and aluminum alternate to eliminate hot spots and ensure consistent heat distribution across the entire pan. This construction also makes the cookware highly resistant to warping, even when exposed to high heat.
Yes, the D5 collection is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and halogen.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the polished finish and integrity of the bonded layers, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
The D5 set is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. This allows you to easily transition from searing on the stovetop to finishing dishes in the oven.
The riveted stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, they will become hot if used in the oven or under the broiler, so always use oven mitts.
The set includes a variety of essential pieces to cover most cooking needs, specifically featuring frying pans, saucepans, a stockpot, and a sauté pan, all paired with matching stainless steel lids.
