Experiment with and discover new flavours and techniques when cooking with KitchenAid 3-Ply Base Stainless Steel Cookware, designed with an extra thick layer of heat-conducting aluminum to eliminate hot spots by distributing heat evenly from edge to edge. Heavy-gauge stainless steel pots and pans feature a heavy bottom base for lasting durability, and the stockpot and saucepans have etched measuring marks. Tempered glass lids have built-in straining rims to lock in heat and flavour while also serving to strain liquids. Curious cooks can investigate a wider range of recipes in the broiler and oven, where cookware is safe to 500°F, 350°F with lids.
