- Is this set oven safe?
- Yes, the pieces are oven safe, so you can finish dishes under the broiler or in the oven. Check the temperature limit for the glass lids before using them in the oven.
- Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick surface?
- No. Use wooden, silicone or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the coating, and wash with a soft sponge rather than abrasive pads.
- What pieces are in the 13-piece set?
- It is a mixed set built around a casserole plus skillets and saucepans with glass lids. Count lids as part of the 13 pieces when comparing it with other sets.
- How does it compare with an all-stainless set?
- Non-stick releases food and cleans more easily, but stainless steel browns better and tolerates metal utensils and higher heat. Choose this set for convenience, stainless for searing and pan sauces.
- Are the lids dishwasher safe?
- Glass lids with steel rims are best hand washed to protect the rim and keep the glass clear. The pans themselves also last longer when washed by hand.
- Is it good for high-heat searing?
- Not really. Non-stick coatings are not meant for very high heat, so use a stainless or cast iron pan when you want a hard sear.
