What's good
- Genuine rim-to-rim clad construction — the thing that makes stainless behave on induction
- The price gap to premium clad brands buys you a whole second appliance
- Dishwasher-tolerant, unlike most premium clad lines
What's not
- Manufacturer doesn't publish the per-size piece list — verify the set contents where you buy
- Handles run slimmer than the premium brands
Our verdict
Fully-clad tri-ply is the construction that makes stainless cookware work properly on induction, and this is the least expensive way to get it across a whole set. Unless you have a specific reason to spend multiples more, start here.
