With the Emeril Lagasse 12pc Stainless Steel Cookware Set you have the beauty of stainless steel with the added bonus of an aluminum base bottom, which means that the cooking surface heats up quickly. These pots and pans are also ready to go from either conventional or induction stove tops straight to the oven and then for quick clean up, they are dishwasher-safe. Tempered glass lids make it easy to monitor cooking without lifting the lid and losing precious steam.
