Stockpot with Lid. Following in the footsteps of its legendary cutlery lines is the new Henckels Classic Clad cookware made of the finest, multi-ply clad materials. Specially packaged, each piece arrives in its own cloth bag with drawstring closure. The soft bag (one for the pan and one for the lid) prevents scratches when storing and dust from collecting; it also makes a handsome gift for giving. On the outside, mirror finish, magnetic stainless steel offers professional looks so popular in today's kitchens while 18/10 satin stainless steel interiors help disguise the signs of wear and tear. Sandwiched in-between is a layer of thick aluminum. All provide the maximum heat conductivity for superior cooking performance. The interiors have curved contours (not hard, right angles) so food particles won't stick and cleanup is quick. And to help you with measuring, all of the pans in this collection (except the fry pans) come with c Clad inside and out in gleaming stainless steel, the pots and pans in this set get a new kitchen up and running in no time. Included are one- and two-quart lidded saucepans, a three-quart lidded sauté pan, six-quart lidded stock pot, and open 8- and 10-inch frying pans. The long handles, riveted for strength and curved for comfort and control, stay cool thanks to their hollow design and V-connection. Cooks who like to hang pots and pans within easy reach will appreciate the generously sized hole in the handle ends. Whisks, spoons, and cleaning brushes all glide smoothly along the curved inner contour of the pans, and the stainless-steel lids fit snugly on the flared, easy-pour rims. J. A. Henckels International, the economical division of Zwilling J. A. Henckels, makes the durable Classic Clad series for serious home cooks. An aluminum core sandwiched between the stainless steel layers distributes heat evenly not just across the bottom of the pot but up the sides, and requires only low to medium temperatures. As well as being oven- and broiler-safe up to 500 degrees F, each pot or pan features a brightly polished magnetic stainless-steel exterior safe for all types of stovetop burners: gas, electric, ceramic, induction, and halogen. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior resists sticking, won't react to acidic foods, and welcomes metal utensils. Henckels recommends washing Classic Clad pieces by hand to retain the mirror finish, and covers the cookware with a lifetime warranty against defects. Except for the frying pans, each pot shows liter and quart markings, and every piece comes wrapped in a soft, drawstring gift/storage bag. -Ann Bieri What's in the Box 1-quart saucepan with lid; 2-quart saucepan with lid; 3-quart sauté pan with lid; 6-quart stock pot with lid; 8-inch fry pan; 10-inch fry pan.

Working with its suppliers, Scanpan is the first cookware company to completely eliminate the use of the harmful chemical PFOA from the entire process used to make its nonstick compound. The new PFOA-free nonstick finish is now found on all Scanpan Classic and Professional cookware. Scanpan covers its cast-aluminum cookware with a full lifetime warranty. -Ann Bieri What's in the Box 7-piece cookware set. The set consists of: 9-inch open fry pan; 10-inch covered sauté pan; 2-quart covered saucepan; 9-inch covered low Dutch oven. 7 pieces total. From the Manufacturer About Green Tek Nonstick Technology: In the more recent past, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken the leading manufacturer of nonstick compounds to task over excessive emissions of PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid). PFOA has been used as a catalyst in the production of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), the basic building block for all nonstick cookware surfaces. PFOA is a chemical that is hard to break down in the environment. It has a half life of 3. 8 years, meaning that if there are 4 grams of PFOA in the body today, the body will have 2 grams in it in four years from now, 1 gram in eight years from now and so on. The human metabolism does not remove PFOA. While it is not a carcinogen or toxin and is generally assumed inert and not harmful to your health, it is environmentally unfriendly and just sticks around forever. That is why the EPA and the leading nonstick manufacturer have agreed that by 2010, the amount of PFOA used to produce PTFE compounds need to be cut by 95%, and by 2015 no PFOA could be used, at all. Towards the end of this process, PFOA is completely extracted via ionization filters. Even if any traces of PFOA were still present by the time the nonstick compound reached the cookware factory, the pan surface curing temperatures would destroy such remnants. The same is true for the old nonstick compound used for Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional. That’s why Scanpan has always been able to present the finished product as not containing PFOA. Why is Scanpan Environmentally Friendly? Scanpan cookware has always been PFOA free, but the negative publicity that PFOA and, by extension, PTFE had received over the last few years, had caused Scanpan to work closely with their suppliers to find a substitute for PFOA that is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Scanpan received patents on PFOA-free technology in 2007 and has been producing Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional with this new process since spring 2007. With their new Green Tek technology, there is no PFOA used at any stage of the entire process, resulting in a "clean and green" nonstick PTFE compound, the production of which no longer uses chemicals that could have a negative impact on the environment. The performance of the Scanpan Green Tek surface is not different in any way from the performance of Scanpan's previous surface. And Scanpan continues to incorporate their patented ceramic-titanium technology. Scanpan is safe to use with metal utensils and each piece comes with a lifetime warranty. Taking Care of Scanpan Classic Cookware: 1. Before first use, remove all packing materials, labels and tags and wash pan in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Assemble the glass cover handle, if applicable, following the instructions on the poly bag that holds all handle parts. Tighten by hand, only, do not use tools. Make sure the small washer that goes on the underside of the glass cover is flush with the glass surface. If not, turn the washer around and re-assemble the handle. 2. Heat pan to working temperature. Medium heat is typically sufficient for frying and sauteing. Since each stove top has its own settings, find the best heat setting for your stove by starting at a lower setting, then gradually increase until water splashed on the pan surface evaporates immediately with a sizzle. High heat can be used for other applications, like boiling water, stir frying, oven roasting etc. Scanpan Classic Cookware is oven safe to 500 degrees F. 3. Scanpan Classic can be used without oil, butter, or other seasonings, making it especially suitable for low fat diets. 4. After use, remove food and clean Scanpan Classic with warm, soapy water. Scanpan Classic wipes clean with a sponge. Scanpan Classic is dishwasher safe, however, Scanpan recommends using extra care if you decide to clean the pans in the dishwasher to prevent damage to plates, glassware, etc. 5. When storing Scanpan Classic Cookware and "nesting" (placing smaller pots inside larger pots) is required due to space limitations, Scanpan recommends placing a paper or cloth towel between the pots and pans to prevent scuff marks. Glass covers should ideally be stored upright. If that is not practical, Scanpan recommends using towels or other suitable material to wrap the covers and to prevent them from chipping or breaking.

Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalon’s original and highly popular Professional Nonstick II line-but with improvements to make it even better. The most obvious enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for various cooking techniques and provides better access for pouring and stirring. Also convenient is the capacity line on these pots and pans, which helps prevent cooks from overfilling them. This set has all the pieces necessary for daily family cooking: 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans, 1-1/2- and 2-1/2-quart covered saucepans, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, and an 8-quart covered stockpot. The pans’ exteriors are made of hard-anodized aluminum for superior heat distribution. The interiors are coated with a nonstick surface that is resistant to peeling, chipping, flaking, or cracking. This cookware has ergonomic brushed stainless-steel handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the pans for durability. The lids are tempered glass-for viewing food as it cooks-encircled by a stainless-steel band that complements the cookware and fits snugly into the pans.
