Good questions, straight answers

Everything you’re wondering

What is this cookware best for?
Ideal for serious searing, crisping fish skin, browning vegetables and making pan sauces. Uncoated stainless steel is built for versatile everyday cooking.
Why choose uncoated 5-ply stainless steel?
Its fully clad 5-ply construction distributes heat across the cooking surface for browning and control. There is no synthetic nonstick coating to wear away, and no PFAS, PTFE or PFOA coating is added.
Does it work on induction, and is it oven safe?
Yes. This cookware works on gas, electric and induction cooktops and is oven safe up to 500°F. Check the temperature rating of any accessory used with it.
Will food stick to stainless steel?
Only when the pan is cold. Preheat on medium for two to three minutes, flick in a drop of water, and when it beads and rolls across the surface, add oil and then the food. Let proteins sit until they release on their own before you turn them; if it pulls, it is not ready. Most people have the rhythm within a week, and the reward is a sear and a pan sauce no coated pan can match, with no coating to wear out.
