Will your cookware work on induction cooktops?
Yes. All Cuisinox cookware as well as all of our kettles and stainless steel espresso makers are especially designed to work on all induction cook tops. (Excluding the Turkish coffee pots)
What is 18/10 stainless steel?
Stainless steel is the absolute best surface to cook with. It is easy to clean, never reacts with food, lasts a lifetime, and looks rich. The 18/10 ratio is the nickel to chromium content in the stainless steel. The more nickel is used, the higher the last number (10). Nickel gives stainless steel its durability and stainless property. The Chromium gives it shine and silver-like qualities. We use only the best 18/10 stainless steel from Japan in Cuisinox Elite and Gourmet and most kitchenware items. We also use 18/8 stainless steel in some serving pieces like napkin holders and items which do not come in contact with food.
Do stainless steel handles get hot?
All stainless steel cast and hollow handles may get a little hot. The use of a tea towel, potholders, or oven mitts is sometimes required. Handles will stay cool for regular everyday cooking temperatures and cooking times (up to 20 minutes). For longer cooking times (like when cooking a stew), the handles may get hotter. This is absolutely normal.
Which cookware works best on my gas stove?
All Cuisinox cookware may be used on gas stoves. However, many manufactures of gas stoves strongly recommend using Cuisinox Super Elite which was especially designed for professional use on gas stoves which are standard in most high-end restaurants.

Can Cuisinox cookware be used on ceramic or glass top ranges?
Yes. All Cuisinox cookware has flat smooth bases, ensuring total contact with ceramic, glass, halogen, and the new induction cooktops.
What is Surround Heat technology?
Surround Heat Technology is exclusive to Cuisinox Super Elite. This heat diffusing system is the most efficient and modern way to cook. Cuisinox Super Elite cookware has a 1/8" thick, 3-ply layer alloy that retains and diffuses heat evenly throughout the pot. Heat is transmitted from the sides as well as the base of the cookware. This creates a uniform and consistent heat eliminating hot spots. There is really no better way to cook.
How do I keep my new cookware looking new?
It is important to clean your cookware soon after it has cooled off. This is when it is the easiest to remove any caked-on food. Immerse the pan in water for a few minutes. Use dish washing liquid soap and a stiff bristle brush or scotchbrite pad to wash your pots. Dry off with a dry cloth to keep your pots looking new. If food is sometimes overcooked or burnt unto the pan, a little elbow grease may be required. Avoid immersing your cookware in water for longer than a couple of hours. Salts and/or minerals in your water may damage stainless steel surfaces and leave small white pits. A discoloration or blue-yellowish blemish may sometimes appear after washing. This is usually caused by hard water, oil, or soap residue. A couple of ounces of white vinegar will remove these blemishes. Another product that works like a charm in restoring stainless steel is any metal polish solid in any hardware store.
What is the warranty on your items?
Cuisinox cookware is covered by a 25 year limited warranty. All other items have warranties if specified.
Are your non-stick pans PFOA free?
Yes, all of our non-stick pans are professional quality and environmentally safe and PFOA free.
