Know before you buy
Copper is one of the most conductive metals available, allowing the pan to heat up and cool down almost instantly. This responsiveness gives you precise control over your cooking temperature, which is essential for delicate tasks like searing proteins or reducing sauces.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the bonded construction and the polished finish of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
Yes, the Copper Core collection is fully compatible with induction stovetops. The magnetic stainless steel exterior ensures the pans work efficiently with induction technology while maintaining the benefits of the copper core.
These pieces are oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. This high heat tolerance allows you to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven without needing to switch cookware.
The starburst finish is a polished stainless steel surface that helps improve the non-stick properties of the pan when used with the correct amount of oil or fat. It is highly durable and designed to resist sticking better than a standard brushed finish.
The handles are ergonomically designed with a concave shape for a secure grip. Because they are riveted stainless steel, they stay cool on the stovetop, though you should always use an oven mitt when removing them from the oven or broiler.
