Good questions, straight answers

Everything you’re wondering

What is this cookware best for?
The wide base and higher sides suit chicken, vegetables, sauces and one-pan dinners. The lid helps you finish dishes with a gentle simmer.
How is this ceramic nonstick different from traditional nonstick?
Its ceramic nonstick surface is made without PFAS, PTFE or PFOA. It helps delicate foods release with less sticking, without a conventional PTFE nonstick coating.
Will it work on induction, and can it go in the oven?
Yes. It works on gas, electric and induction cooktops and is oven safe up to 400°F. For a set, always follow the lowest temperature limit of the pieces and accessories used together.
Will the ceramic wear out like other nonstick I've owned?
Every nonstick surface, ceramic included, loses some release over time. What you control is how fast. Two things wear a ceramic coating out early: high heat and dishwasher detergent. Cook on low to medium, hand wash with a soft sponge and use wood or silicone utensils. These habits help preserve the coating's food release. Performance varies with use and care. If you would rather have a cooking surface with nothing to wear off at all, Maestro 5-ply stainless steel is the one to choose.
