Designed to cook from scratch without the scratches, this extra-durable, perfectly constructed 12-piece cookware set combines the beauty and durability of stainless steel with the cleaning convenience of nonstick. Circulon's SteelShield™ technology features elevated steel rings to protect the nonstick surfaces (and extends up the walls of the frying pans), so you never have to worry about scratched nonstick again. Our unique, easy-to-clean flat rivet system provides an amazingly smooth cooking surface, and tri-ply clad construction means the pots and pans heat up quickly to reduce hot spots on any cooktop, including induction. Plus, SteelShield nonstick is completely metal utensil safe. To prove it, we even included a pair of stainless steel utensils in the set!
