Know before you buy
Yes, the Granitium nonstick coating is engineered to be durable enough to withstand metal utensils. However, using silicone or wood tools will still help extend the life of the nonstick surface over the long term.
No, this specific set is designed for gas and electric stovetops only. It does not feature the magnetic base required for induction cooking.
Forged construction creates a denser, more uniform aluminum base that is highly resistant to warping. This means your pans will sit flat on the burner even after repeated heating and cooling cycles, ensuring even heat distribution.
The synthetic handles on this set are designed for stovetop use and are not intended for oven use. You should avoid putting these pieces in the oven to prevent damage to the handle material.
While the exterior and coating are durable, hand washing is recommended to preserve the nonstick performance and the finish of the cookware over time. Harsh dishwasher detergents can degrade nonstick coatings faster than gentle hand washing.
