The Emeril Lagasse 62850 10-piece tri-ply stainless steel cookware set is a high-quality and durable option for all your cooking needs. The set includes fused layers of aluminum and stainless steel, ensuring quick and even heat distribution. The stainless steel interior is also non-reactive, making it easy to clean and safe to use with all types of food. The handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop and the set is safe for use in the oven, dishwasher, and on all stovetops, including induction. With a range of pot and pan sizes, this set will have you covered whether you're cooking for one or preparing a multi-course meal for the entire family.

Induction Stovetop Compatibility

The Emeril Lagasse 10-piece tri-ply stainless steel cookware set is compatible with induction stovetops. The cookware set is made of fused layers of aluminum and stainless steel, which ensures quick and even heat distribution. The stainless steel interior also means that the pots and pans will not react with food.

Induction cooktops use an electromagnetic field to directly heat up magnetic cookware. This makes induction cooking more energy-efficient than cooking on gas or electric stovetops. Induction cooktops are also safer as the surface of the cooktop does not get as hot.

However, induction cooktops require compatible cookware. Cast iron, steel, and pots and pans that are labelled as induction-ready will work on an induction cooktop. You can test whether your existing cookware will work by sticking a magnet to the bottom of the pan. If the magnet sticks, then the cookware is compatible with induction cooktops.

Even heat distribution

The combination of aluminium and stainless steel means that the Emeril Lagasse set offers the best of both materials. The aluminium layer allows for quick, even heat distribution, while the stainless steel ensures that the cookware is non-reactive and easy to clean. This makes the set a "cook's dream".

The Emeril Lagasse set's even heat distribution is further enhanced by its tempered glass lids, which help monitor cooking without losing precious steam. The set is also safe for the oven, dishwasher, and all stovetops, including induction.

The Emeril Lagasse set's even heat distribution helps to avoid these issues, making it a reliable choice for cooks.

Oven and dishwasher safety

The Emeril Lagasse 10-piece tri-ply stainless steel cookware set is safe for the oven, dishwasher, and all stovetops, including induction. However, there are some important safety considerations to keep in mind when using stainless steel cookware in the oven and dishwasher.

When using stainless steel cookware in the oven, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines. The Emeril Lagasse cookware set has tempered glass lids that are oven safe up to 350°F, while the stainless steel pans are oven safe up to 550°F. Exceeding these temperature limits may cause damage to the cookware.

Regarding dishwasher safety, while stainless steel is generally considered dishwasher-safe, there are some risks and precautions to be aware of. Here are some important tips for safely using stainless steel cookware in the dishwasher:

• Check the grade of stainless steel: The cookware set is likely made of 304-grade or 18/10 stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and dishwasher detergents. Lower grades, such as 18/0 stainless steel, may not be suitable for dishwashers.
• Avoid dishwashing stainless clad cookware: This type of cookware has layers of aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel. The detergents can degrade the aluminum layers over time, leading to an unsafe and impractical pan.
• Prevent pitting, discoloration, and rust: Stainless steel is prone to pitting, discoloration, and rust when exposed to the harsh conditions in dishwashers. Properly drying the cookware after washing can help mitigate these issues.
• Avoid washing with silver-plated cutlery: Do not wash stainless steel and silver-plated cutlery together in the dishwasher. The combination of detergent and the reaction between the two types of metals can ruin both sets of flatware.
• Handle with care: Stainless steel cookware can scratch or be damaged during the wash cycle. To minimize this risk, ensure that other metal items do not bang against the surface of the cookware.
• Avoid washing with aluminum: Do not wash stainless steel cookware with aluminum items in the dishwasher. Aluminum can tarnish and degrade when exposed to dishwasher detergents.
• Hand washing as an alternative: While the Emeril Lagasse cookware set is dishwasher-safe, some people prefer to hand wash their stainless steel cookware to maintain its highly polished appearance. Using gentle detergents and carefully drying the cookware can help achieve this.

Handle design

The handles of the Emeril Lagasse 10-piece tri-ply stainless steel cookware set are designed to be both functional and safe. The cast hollow core handles are riveted for durability and feature a hollow design that keeps them cool to the touch, even when the cookware is in use on the stovetop. This safety feature ensures that you don't burn your hand while cooking, keeping the heat in the pan and not in your hand. The handles are also designed to fit comfortably in your hand, providing a secure grip for easy handling and manoeuvring of the cookware.

The handles complement the sleek and functional design of the cookware set, which combines the benefits of stainless steel and aluminum. The fused layers of these two materials result in quick, even heat distribution, easy cleaning, and non-reactive cooking surfaces. The set is also induction-compatible, oven-safe, and dishwasher-safe, making it a versatile and convenient choice for any kitchen.
