This 10-piece set accommodates family-style portions featuring the 8.3L stockpot, and can also be used to prepare sauces, soups, delicious side dishes, and even fry ingredients with ease.

Whether you want to prepare a stew for the whole family, or simply want to sear a steak, our 10-piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set makes for a great addition to your kitchen.

Our 10-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set is a good option for individuals looking to upgrade their existing cookware collection. From experienced chefs to novice home cooks, stainless steel cookware is capable of withstanding higher temperatures, featuring a proprietary-blend of professional-grade metals.

Otherwise, our 10-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set is also particularly suited for individuals equipping their kitchen for the first time. This 10-piece collection comes equipped with many durable stainless steel essentials, including two saucepans, a sauté pan, a stockpot, and the versatile fry pan.

Stainless steel cookware is primarily used for recipes involving higher temperatures due to its durable three-layer construction and heat-responsive aluminum core. Featuring a proprietary blend of professional-grade metals, our 10-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set delivers superior heat retention, exposing ingredients to a consistent heat source.

This 10-piece set particularly excels when searing meat, poultry, and fish, as well as when sautéing vegetables. Alternatively, stainless steel cookware can be used to fry food given its impressive heat-retention properties. Compatible with all cooktops, including induction, our 10-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set is a great addition to your kitchen, and even makes for a perfect gift to newlyweds or to a friend that has just moved out.

Cleaning stainless steel cookware differs slightly from enamelled cast iron cookware, with some similarities. For one, submerging a sizzling stainless steel pan in cold water directly after cooking can lead to thermal shock. As such, it is always recommended to let your stainless steel cookware reach room temperature before cleaning it.

Once again, nylon or soft abrasive pads are recommended over metallic pads and harsh cleaning agents. Proprietary stainless steel cleaners can also be used to remove harsh stains and lime water without damaging the surface of your stainless steel cookware.

Toughened Nonstick Pro Set

Our 10-piece Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware Set is beloved for its versatility and durability, delivering top-quality results for years to come.

Nonstick Nonstick

Our 10-Piece Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware Set includes the following items: 20 cm Fry Pan, 28 cm Fry Pan, 1.9 L Saucepan with Lid, 2.8 L Saucepan with Lid, 3.2 L Sauté Pan with Lid and a 6 L Stockpot with Lid. This 10-piece set can help beginner and experienced chefs alike expand their horizon in the kitchen and prepare a number of new dishes. Easy to clean and extremely durable, our 10-piece Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware Set makes for a versatile addition to your kitchen for years to come.

Our 10-Piece Toughened Nonstick Cookware Set is best suited for inexperienced chefs looking to learn new cooking techniques with beginner-friendly cookware. This 10-piece collection delivers all the benefits and ease of nonstick cooking, ensuring sticky ingredients slide right off. Featuring a PFOA-free surface that will never chip or flake, Le Creuset’s Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware embodies the buy-it-once-for-life nature of quality cookware.

Our 10-piece Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware Set also offers chefs a healthier alternative in the kitchen compared to other cookware materials, minimizing the need for fatty oils and butter and makes cleanup a breeze.

Our 10-Piece Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware set is perfectly suited for tackling recipes involving sensitive ingredients such as eggs and pancakes. Its PFOA-free nonstick surface ensures ingredients will slide right off, all-while exposing food to a consistent heat source.

Typically, toughened nonstick cookware is used on low- to medium-heat and is compatible with all cooktops, ranging from conventional ovens to broilers, stovetops, or salamanders. Our 10-piece toughened nonstick cookware set can also be used for frying, boiling, braising, stewing, and much more, highlighting its versatility.

When cleaning your 10-Piece Toughened Nonstick Pro Cookware Set, only nonstick cleaning pads are recommended. Metal or abrasive pads and cleaning agents will inevitably damage the nonstick surface, reducing its effectiveness in the long run. While toughened nonstick pans are dishwasher-safe, it is nonetheless recommended to hand-wash them with hot, soapy water.

Once again, allow your nonstick cookware to reach room temperature before cleaning it. As is the case with enamelled cast iron and stainless steel cookware, thermal shock can occur when introducing a hot pan in cold water.

Comparing 10-Piece Cookware Sets

Equipping your kitchen for the first time presents home cooks with a difficult decision with a number of considerations to make. Ultimately, different types of cookware are suited for different cooking techniques and recipes.

While stainless steel cookware excels when higher temperatures are involved, it goes without saying that it is not as effective as toughened nonstick cookware with sensitive ingredients. A complete kitchen will typically feature a blend of all cookware materials, including enamelled cast iron, toughened nonstick, as well as stainless steel.

Personal preference also comes into the equation as many home cooks and chefs curate their cookware collection based on what they prepare the most. We hope our comparison of our 10-piece cookware sets helped simplify your decision and brought you closer to setting up your kitchen with Le Creuset.
