J.A. Henckels International Classic Clad 4-Piece Starter Set is manufactured using tri-ply clad material. The set includes a 2-Quart Sauce pan with lid and a 10-Inch fry pan with lid. The aluminum material in the center is an excellent heat conductor, w

Clad inside and out in gleaming stainless steel, the two-quart covered saucepan and 10-inch covered frying pan in this starter set handsomely suffice to cook just about all the basics: soups, vegetables, fish, meats, eggs, you-name-it. The long handles, riveted for strength and curved for comfort and control, stay cool thanks to their hollow form 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 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
