Each layer of metal is carefully selected for optimum performance and efficiency. The exterior layer is a magnetic stainless steel that makes the cookware suitable for induction stovetops. The next layer of aluminum alloy bonds to the middle layer, which is pure 3004 aluminum. The fourth layer is an aluminum alloy bonded to the interior 18/10 high-grade stainless steel. Together, these five layers work in unison to transfer heat quickly and evenly while using less energy to achieve desired cooking temperatures. The middle layer of pure aluminum is the key ingredient to the efficiency of this cookware as aluminum is one of the most conductive metals used in cooking. The aluminum core will transfer the heat evenly through both the bottom and sides of the pan, maximizing the utility of all of the cooking surfaces. The non-reactive and non-porous inner layer of stainless steel combines with the efficiency of the core to make an ideal cooking surface that is easy to clean and sanitize. The 5-ply construction makes this cookware stove, oven and grill friendly. Features: Handcrafted in the USA.
