Stainless steel Cookware set

Stainless steel cookware set - pure metal without coating

A stainless steel cookware set at Cook & Pan is a complete pan set in 3-ply construction of stainless steel: no coating, no polymer, just pure metal that handles extreme frying heat and lasts for years. No risk of wearing off, no harmful substances coming loose, no replacement moment in a few years. An honest set for those who want control over the heat and want to set up the basics of their kitchen in one go.

What is a stainless steel cookware set with 3-ply construction?

Our stainless steel cookware sets have a three-layer construction: two outer layers of stainless steel and an aluminium core in the middle. The stainless steel on the outside is hard, scratch-resistant and stays looking good; the aluminium core ensures fast and even heat conduction so you get no hot spots. This type of construction is also known as 3-ply or tri-ply and is what professional kitchens have been using for years.

Benefits of cooking with a stainless steel cookware set

• No coating, no wear - the whole set keeps giving the same performance its whole life, even after thousands of uses.
• High frying heat without worry - oven-safe up to 280 degrees and can handle gas and induction at full power.
• Nice fond for sauce - what sticks to the bottom is no problem but the basis of a good pan sauce.
• Dishwasher safe - the whole set, no hand-washing discipline needed.
• Complete starter kit - multiple sizes in one box, so you have the basics for any dish straight away.

Which hobs does a stainless steel cookware set work on?

Our stainless steel cookware sets work on every heat source: induction, gas, ceramic and electric. Stainless steel is naturally ferromagnetic so induction is no problem. Move to a different kitchen and your whole set comes along.

Who is a stainless steel cookware set for?

A stainless steel cookware set is ideal for anyone who takes cooking seriously and wants to set up their kitchen completely in one go: searing meat on high heat, getting a good crust, reducing a pan sauce with the brown bits. It needs a bit more preheating than a ceramic pan before you toss your egg in, but you get used to that quickly. Not the set for those who want to dry-fry every day without oil; ceramic suits you better then.

Care: how to keep stainless steel sharp and shiny

Stainless steel is robust and dishwasher safe. For hand washing: warm water and a sponge is enough. Stains from acid (tomato, lemon juice) or limescale come off with a bit of vinegar or a special stainless steel polish. You prevent a slightly warped base by warming the pan up slowly and not going from full power directly to cold water. Food sticking on? Let the pan simmer with a bit of water and salt, then the burnt-on bits release by themselves.

How long does a stainless steel cookware set last?

Your stainless steel cookware set comes with a 7-year warranty on manufacturing and material defects. In practice a good 3-ply stainless steel set lasts much longer: there is no coating to wear out and the material itself becomes more beautiful over the years through natural patina. Want to try it out first? You have 60 days of try-cooking to test the set at home and still send it back if it does not suit you.

PFAS-free by material choice

Because a stainless steel cookware set has no coating at all, it is by definition free of PFAS, PFOA, PTFE and all other synthetic polymers. No slow release during heating, no residues in your dish. Want to see the broader PFAS-free range across all materials? Check our cookware set without PFAS.
