Questions and answers
- Which set is better for induction cooktops?
- Both work on induction. The Hybrid set uses tri-ply stainless steel, which heats more evenly. The Cookware Set uses a stainless induction base on an aluminum body.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Hybrid set's tri-ply steel body should outlast the aluminum body of the Cookware Set. Its hex-pattern ceramic coating is also rated for metal utensils, which reduces scratch damage. The Cookware Set backs its coating with a 10-year warranty.
- Can I use metal utensils in both?
- Only in the Hybrid set, which is rated metal utensil safe. Use silicone or wood in the Cookware Set to protect its ceramic coating.
- Is the Hybrid set worth the extra $19?
- Yes if you want higher oven heat, metal utensil safety and a bigger stock pot. No if you need frying pans, since the Hybrid set has none.
- Which is better for a family cooking daily?
- The Cookware Set, because 12 pieces including three frying pans cover more meals. The Hybrid set suits cooks who mainly boil, braise and oven-finish.
- How do the pot sizes compare?
- The Hybrid set's largest pot is 7.5 L, about 8 qt. The Cookware Set's largest is a 4.5-qt stock pot, plus a 4-qt sauté pan.
