- Is this set fully clad or base-only?
- It is tri-ply on the base only. The aluminum core runs across the bottom; the sidewalls are single-layer stainless, so heat spreads less evenly up the sides than in fully clad cookware.
- Does it work on induction cooktops?
- Yes. The exterior is magnetic stainless steel, so the set works on induction as well as gas, electric and glass cooktops.
- Can the pans and lids go in the oven?
- The pans are oven safe to 350°F. The tempered glass lids are best kept out of the oven or used only at low heat.
- What pieces are included?
- Three fry pans (8, 10 and 12 inches) plus 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8-quart vessels with tempered glass lids, 14 pieces in all.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Yes, the set is dishwasher safe, though hand washing keeps the stainless finish looking new longer.
- How does it compare with fully clad sets?
- It costs less and heats the base evenly, but fully clad rivals spread heat up the sidewalls and usually allow higher oven temperatures.
