Made of 18/10 stainless steel with pure aluminum core, all pieces are dishwasher safe. Lifetime warranty. Exclusively online at macys.com

This Calphalon 8-piece set consists of a 1-1/2-quart saucepan with lid, a 2-quart saucepan with lid, a 6-quart saucepot with lid, and 8- and 10-inch omelet pans. With aluminum cores sandwiched by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the attributes of both metals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly across the pots and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides. The durable, 18/10 stainless-steel interiors and exteriors are easy to clean, resist scratching, denting, warping, and corrosion, and are nonreactive to acidic food. Domed, glass lids permit cooking to be monitored without releasing heat and are oven-safe to 450 degrees F. Riveted, stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and have hanging holes. Rims are flared to facilitate dripless pouring. Tri-Ply cookware is polished to a mirror finish outside for beauty and wears a satin finish inside to conceal inevitable utensil marks. Everything goes safely into the dishwasher, although hand washing better preserves the mirror finish. Tri-Ply cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
