Cuisinart French Classic Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel Cookware

The tri-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design allows the pan to heat up quickly and distribute that heat evenly across the entire surface, preventing hot spots that can burn your food.

Yes, the stainless steel exterior is fully induction-compatible. It will work efficiently on induction, as well as gas, electric, and halogen stovetops.

The riveted handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, if you are using the pans in the oven or broiler, the handles will become hot and you should always use oven mitts.

Yes, the entire set is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is usually recommended to maintain the polished finish of the stainless steel over time.

Yes, the construction is durable enough to withstand extreme temperature changes. This makes the set versatile for tasks like searing on the stove, finishing in the oven, and storing leftovers in the freezer.

The set includes a variety of essential kitchen staples, including various sizes of saucepans and frying pans. Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's site for the exact breakdown of lids and pan sizes included in the box.
