Does this set work on induction cooktops?

Yes. The aluminum core is bonded in stainless steel and the set is rated for induction along with gas, electric, halogen and glass-ceramic.

Is the cookware nonstick?

No. The cooking surface is bare stainless steel, so use oil, butter or liquid and moderate heat to keep food from sticking.

What is included in the 11 pieces?

A 1.5-quart and a 2.5-quart saucepan with glass covers, a 3-quart sauté pan with helper handle and cover, an 8-quart stockpot with cover, 8-inch and 10-inch skillets, and an 18 cm steamer insert.

Can the pans go in the oven?

The stainless pans are oven-safe, but check the temperature limit for the glass lids before using them in the oven.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Stainless steel can go in a dishwasher, but hand washing keeps the finish brighter and avoids spots and discoloration.

How does it compare with a clad stainless set?

This set uses an aluminum core in the base rather than full multi-ply walls, so it is lighter and heats the base well, while clad sets spread heat further up the sides.
