Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features a 3-ply aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the entire surface of the pan, eliminating hot spots and providing consistent results whether you are searing or simmering.
Yes, the magnetic stainless steel exterior makes this set fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen ranges.
The handles are designed with an ergonomic, stay-cool construction to remain comfortable to the touch during standard stovetop cooking. However, because they are riveted metal, they will get hot if placed inside an oven or under a broiler.
Yes, the entire set is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. This allows you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing without needing to switch pans.
Yes, this set is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is generally recommended to maintain the satin finish and prevent any potential spotting over time.
The set includes a selection of essential professional-grade pieces, including a frying pan, saucepan, stockpot, and sauté pan, all paired with matching stainless steel lids.
