- Does the Cuisinart Contour set work on induction?
- Yes. The sandwich base is induction compatible, and it also works on gas, smooth electric and cast iron tops.
- Is the whole set oven safe?
- The pans are oven safe, but the glass lids have temperature limits, so check the lid rating before high-heat oven use.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Cuisinart lists the set as dishwasher safe, though hand washing protects the non-stick surface longer.
- What comes in the 13 pieces?
- Two sauce pans, three pans, two casseroles, a pasta insert and five glass lids with stainless handles.
- How does it compare with fully clad stainless sets?
- It heats mainly through the sandwich base rather than the whole wall, so it is lighter and less responsive to quick temperature changes than clad sets, but easier to clean.
- Can I use metal utensils on it?
- No. The non-stick surface calls for silicone, wood or plastic utensils to avoid scratching.
