Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features five layers of metal bonded together, which allows heat to travel quickly and evenly across the entire pan, not just the base. This eliminates hot spots and ensures consistent browning and searing.
Yes, the Heritage Steel 5-ply set is fully induction-compatible. It also works perfectly on electric coil, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
Yes, this set is oven-safe. The stainless steel construction and riveted handles are designed to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for finishing dishes in the oven or keeping food warm.
