Chefs Classic (Stainless Steel) Sets
This is a slightly more affordable set compared to the Multiclad pro set. It also has a great size choice ranging from 7pc to 17pc. The lower price of this set is largely due to the fact that there are only aluminium fittings in the bottom of the pots and pans (as oppose to throughout the entire pot/pan). This means that it is not as easy to cook food due to longer heating periods. Another downfall to this set is that it cannot be used on an induction stovetop.
The 14Pc set is one of the most popular from this line. The 14PC set contains:
- Saucepan with lid (1.5qt or 1.4 litres)
- Saucepan with lid (3qt or 2.8 litres)
- Saute pan with lid (4qt or 3.8 litres)
- 8-inch open skillet
- 10-inch open skillet with lid.
- Stockpot with lid (9qt or 8.5 litres)
- 20cm universal steamer with lid
- 24cm pasta insert
