Tell Me About Calphalon Tri Ply, Please
Like the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro, this home gourmet cookware has a three-layer design that consists of two layers of stainless steel encasing a third layer of heavy-gauge aluminum. You get that nice, fast even heating. The layer of aluminum extends all the way to the sides and even up the sides of the pan, providing superb heat distribution to your food.
We will get into the specifics of the set once we start the reviews, but you have much to look forward to when you decide to use this cookware. For instance, you can enjoy:
- Triple riveted handles, so they are nice and sturdy, secured tightly.
- V handles, so air flows through and keeps handles cool
- Tempered glass lids, so heat and moisture stay in, and you can check on your food anytime.
What is the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro?
Cuisinart Multiclad pro is that type of multiclad cookware that you always dreamed of having in your kitchen. Heck, it would even make Gordon Ramsay smile, we think. Reason being is that it comes in a great set, which we will get into once we take a look at our product review. You get a lot of great stuff in the 12-piece cookware set. It’s versatile and the lids are interchangeable, which saves you plenty of time.
After all, how many of us have wasted minutes in the kitchen searching for a lid?
The pot and pan set is constructed of tri-ply stainless steel and features an aluminum core. You are most likely not a metallurgist, so let me go ahead and break that into plain English. This cookware features three layers, hence the title “tri-ply.” Then, you get an aluminum core between two layers of this stainless steel. It is a good thing to have this aluminum there — it conducts heat better than stainless steel by itself.
The great thing about this set is the three layers of metal, plus the aluminum core, are not just on the base. Rather they extend all the way up the sides. (This is why they call it “multiclad”). This means whatever you are cooking is evenly heated and is surrounded by heat from all sides. You heard that right: no hot spots in your pot.
