Know before you buy
The copper core is bonded throughout the entire 5-ply construction, extending from the base all the way to the rim. This design ensures consistent heat distribution across the sides of the pans, not just the bottom.
Yes, the Copper Core collection is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction. The magnetic stainless steel exterior allows it to work efficiently on induction burners.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the bonded stainless steel and copper, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
The handles are designed with a vented, stay-cool construction that helps them remain comfortable to touch during standard stovetop cooking. However, they will get hot if used in the oven or under the broiler, so always use oven mitts.
Yes, the entire set is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. This makes them ideal for finishing dishes like gratins or steaks that require high-heat searing.
The set includes an 8-inch and 10-inch fry pan, a 2-quart and 3-quart saucepan with lids, a 3-quart sauté pan with a lid, and an 8-quart stockpot with a lid.
