The magnificent seven.

Here’s what we love about this set: First of all, that stainless steel is tri-ply constructed (aka three layers with an aluminum core), which means every piece conducts heat beautifully. Plus, unlike many other cookware materials, it’ll always preserve the flavors of your dishes and is safe to use on any stovetop you throw it at, even heating to a whopping 500°F, no problem. With room aplenty for everything from scrambles to stews, the set comes with tempered glass lids so you can get right up close to the action. A flared rim means no-mess pouring and those stay-cool handles will make you feel as confident as Julia Child on set. Did we mention they’re also dishwasher safe? They are.
