Features
Le Creuset’s stainless steel cookware features a tri-ply construction for superior heat conductivity and even heating. The bottom of the pan is constructed with a complete aluminum core surrounded by two layers of stainless steel.
The interior surface of the pan is constructed with surgical-grade stainless steel for a stable, safe cooking surface that will not react to food. The magnetic external layer of the pan’s core is compatible with induction cooktops and infused with titanium to prevent discoloration. Aside from induction cooktops, this cookware is also compatible with:
- Electric
- Gas
- Halogen
- Ceramic
Thanks to the durability of stainless steel, this cookware is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Casserole pans, stockpots and sauce pans included in these sets feature capacity markings for easy measuring. Pour rims also allow for convenient, drip-free pouring directly from the pot.

It’s hard to find any complaints with this stainless steel cookware. Not only is it easy to care for, but its superior heat conductivity and even heating make it the best Le Creuset cookware for serious cooks.
Price
Le Creuset’s tri-ply stainless steel cookware is comparable to the brand’s enameled cast iron cookware collection. Because the brand does not offer larger sets in their cast iron collection, it’s hard to compare the 10-piece and 12-piece sets as far as price is concerned.
With that in mind, it’s important to remember that professional quality cookware comes at a price. The tri-ply set is high performing cookware that’s designed for serious and professional use. Its exceptional performance makes it well worth its high price tag.
Durability & Maintenance
Every cookware piece in this collection is very easy to maintain and built to last a lifetime. Each piece is dishwasher safe, easy to clean and virtually maintenance-free. The stainless steel construction of the pans resist discoloration and warping to provide many years of use.
If you’re looking for high performing cookware with a sleek, professional look, Le Creuset’s tri-ply stainless steel cookware is the ideal choice.
