Ready for more refined yet still accessible cookware? T-fal Ultimate Stainless Steel features the multi-layer construction (copper, stainless steel and aluminum) that’s typically found in high-end cookware, making it a great choice for any home cook who cares about great tasting food, time tested durability and easy dishwasher safe cleanup. T-fal Ultimate Stainless Steel cookware’s heavy gauge multi-layer base consists of copper and an encapsulated aluminum core for enhanced heat distribution and retention, as well as 18/10 stainless steel for rugged strength with a gleaming mirror finish. This combination is ideal for promoting faster heat-up times and when sautéing or cooking temperature sensitive foods. T-fal Ultimate Stainless Steel kitchen pots and pans work best using moderate heat, and their stainless-steel interiors won’t react with acidic food, allowing food to retain true flavors. Used to cooking with coated nonstick? Making the switch to well loved stainless is easy—simply preheat the pan, then add a thin coat of cooking oil to prevent food from sticking. Take cooking ambitions up a notch and enjoy the reliable strength and high quality performance of T-fal Ultimate Stainless Steel Copper Bottom cookware.
