- Is this set induction compatible?
- Yes. The magnetic stainless steel sandwich base works on induction, gas, electric coil and smooth-top ranges.
- Can the pans go in the oven?
- Yes, the cookware is oven-safe to 500°F. The glass lids are not meant for broiler use.
- Are the pans dishwasher safe?
- Cuisinart lists them as dishwasher safe, though hand washing keeps the stainless finish brighter over time.
- What is included in the 17 pieces?
- Three saucepans, two casseroles, four pans or skillets, a steamer insert and seven glass lids.
- How does it compare with fully clad sets?
- The base is multi-layer but the sides are single-ply, so it heats less evenly at the edges than tri-ply cookware such as All-Clad.
- Does food stick to the stainless interior?
- Uncoated stainless needs preheating and oil or butter. With that technique it releases food reasonably well.
