Cuisinart French Classic Cookware

Yes, the Cuisinart French Classic Tri-Ply set is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass ceramic ranges.

The 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, so you should always use oven mitts.

While the set is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the polished stainless steel finish and prevent potential water spots or dulling over time.

Tri-ply construction means the cookware features a core of responsive aluminum sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads quickly and evenly across the entire pan, effectively eliminating hot spots that can burn food.

Yes, the stainless steel construction allows these pieces to transition seamlessly from the stovetop to the oven or broiler. They are built to withstand high heat, making them ideal for searing a steak on the burner and finishing it in the oven.

The complete 13-piece set weighs approximately 36.8 pounds. Because of the tri-ply construction, the pieces have a substantial, professional feel without being overly cumbersome to handle.
