Get everything you need to cook up delicious, healthy meals for your family with this cookware set. Cuisnart's new energy-efficient and eco-friendly Ceramica nonstick surface more than just reduces your carbon footprint, this nonstick coating also allows for easy food release and the ability to use less fat while cooking as well as for use in the oven for browning. The pans deliver superior heat conductivity, requiring less energy to achieve the desired cooking temperature. Harder than stainless steel, the skillet's hard anodized exterior is dense, nonporous, and highly wear-resistant for extra durability and professional performance as well as quick and even heat distribution. Additionally, the securely riveted stay-cool steel handles are manufactured using 70 percent recycled stainless steel and are oven-safe to 500 degrees F so food can be browned on the stovetop and then transferred to the oven to finish cooking. Cuisinart's green gourmet cookware is designed with an exclusive Cuisinart Ceramica nonstick surface, which features a petroleum-free, ceramic-based coating that is applied at a temperature one-half that of traditional nonstick surfaces. The coating does not contain PTFE and PFOA. In addition, Cuisinart's cookware has a scratch-resistant nonstick surface that won't peel off. The new cookware conforms to FDA and European RoHS standards for environmentally sound products.
