Non-Stick Coating & Construction Details
The MasterClass 12 piece cookware set features a triple-layer non-stick interior that’s PFOA-free and designed for durability. We’ve engineered each pan with a heavy-gauge aluminum body that heats quickly and maintains consistent temperature across the entire cooking surface.
This construction method prevents warping even after years of daily use, while the reinforced non-stick coating withstands metal utensils and high-heat cooking. The exterior features a sleek satin finish that resists fingerprints and complements any kitchen aesthetic.
Complete Piece Breakdown & Sizing
Saucepans & Stockpot
Our set includes two saucepans—a 1.5-quart size perfect for heating sauces and melting butter, and a 2.5-quart pan ideal for cooking grains, vegetables, or small pasta portions. The 5-quart stockpot handles soups, stews, and boiling tasks for the whole family.
Frying Pans
The 8-inch frying pan excels at single-serving omelets and quick sautés, while the 9.5-inch pan accommodates larger portions and comes with its own lid for steaming and simmering. Both pans feature our signature ergonomic handle design that balances the weight of the pan for comfortable flipping and tossing.
Stovetop Compatibility & Oven Use
This cookware set works seamlessly on gas, electric, and smooth-top ceramic cooktops. The flat aluminum base makes full contact with heating elements for efficient energy transfer and faster cooking times.
While the masterclass 12 piece cookware set is not induction-compatible, it delivers exceptional performance on traditional heat sources. Each pan’s magnetic properties have been optimized for the broadest possible compatibility across standard home kitchens.

Questions About the MasterClass 12 Piece Set
While the non-stick coating is reinforced to withstand occasional contact with metal utensils, we recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon tools to extend the life of the coating. The three nylon utensils included with your set are specifically designed to protect the non-stick surface while cooking.
Metal utensils can gradually wear down any non-stick coating over time, even durable ones, so softer tools will help maintain optimal food release for years.
The MasterClass 12 piece cookware set is not compatible with induction cooktops. The aluminum construction works beautifully on gas, electric coil, and smooth-top ceramic ranges, delivering even heating and excellent temperature control.
If you require induction compatibility, we recommend exploring our stainless steel cookware collections, which feature magnetic bases designed for induction cooking.
The masterclass 12 piece cookware set includes more size options and accessories than our smaller collections. You get two saucepans (1.5-qt and 2.5-qt), a 5-quart stockpot, two frying pans (8-inch and 9.5-inch), four lids, and three utensils.
Our 8-piece and 5-piece sets contain fewer pans and lids, making them ideal for smaller households or limited cabinet space. The 12-piece configuration ensures you have the right size for any cooking task without needing to buy additional pieces later.
For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm soapy water and let it soak for 15-20 minutes to loosen residue. Use a soft sponge or dishcloth to gently wipe away the softened food—avoid abrasive scrubbers or steel wool pads.
If food remains stubborn, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the affected area, and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping clean. Never use harsh chemical cleaners or metal scouring pads, as these will damage the non-stick surface.
The tempered glass lids should not go in the oven. While the pans themselves are oven-safe up to 350°F, the glass lids are designed for stovetop use only and may crack under oven heat due to thermal stress.
When using the cookware in the oven, remove the lid before placing the pan inside. The silicone handles on the pans are oven-safe to 350°F, though we recommend using oven mitts when removing hot cookware.
With proper care—hand washing, using soft utensils, and avoiding high heat—the non-stick coating on the MasterClass 12 piece cookware set maintains excellent food release for three to five years of regular use. Factors like cooking frequency, utensil choices, and cleaning methods all impact longevity.
Avoiding aerosol cooking sprays, never heating empty pans, and allowing cookware to cool before washing will significantly extend the coating’s performance. Some customers report using their sets daily for five-plus years with minimal degradation.
Before first use, wash all pieces in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to remove any manufacturing residue. Lightly coat the non-stick interior with cooking oil using a paper towel, then heat the pan on low for one minute.
Wipe out excess oil and your cookware is ready to use. This initial seasoning step helps establish the non-stick surface and ensures optimal performance from the first meal forward.
