What is 5-Ply Stainless Cookware?Updated 2 years ago

Premium stainless clad cookware is made by bonding 5 layers of metal together to capture the best qualities of each. The graphic below shows each layer in our Stainless Clad cookware.

In the "premium" market you have things like tri-ply, 5-ply, copper core, etc. The external layer of our cookware on the cooking side is 304, 18/10 stainless steel. The 18/10 stainless steel resists corrosion and rust and won't react with your food. The external layer of our cookware on the element-facing side is made from a high-grade ferritic 430 stainless steel, so it is both durable and magnetic (to work with induction cooktops). Stainless steel provides durability, induction compatibility, and a non-reactive surface.  

The middle three layers are alternating layers of pure aluminum and aluminum alloy, which is a combination of metals known for their heat conductivity and responsiveness.
