Cast aluminum, and a lid that is also a pan
A cookware set and a Dutch oven.
Five pieces: a 16 cm (6.3 in) saucepan, 16, 20 and 24 cm (9.4 in) pots with glass lids, and a 24 cm (9.4 in) sauté pan. Listing every size rather than saying “five pieces” is what lets you check the set against the pans you already own before buying a duplicate.
42 × 25.5 × 12 cm (16.5 × 10 × 4.7 in), 8.7 liters, cast aluminum with a PTFE coating, and a lid that doubles as a pan.
Cast aluminum rather than cast iron: much lighter, heats faster, and holds heat less well. With a PTFE coating it is a different tool from a bare iron Dutch oven — easier to clean, and not something to put over a fire.
The five-piece set, for the published sizes.
42 × 25.5 × 12 cm (16.5 × 10 × 4.7 in) · 8.7 L · cast aluminum with PTFE coating · lid doubles as a pan · oven safe to 260 °C (500 °F)
An 8.7 liter cast aluminum roaster with a Teflon Classic coating, a lid that works as a pan, and a published oven limit of 260 °C (500 °F).
Best for: Large joints, for someone who wants a roaster that is not cast iron heavy.
5 pieces · 16 cm (6.3 in) saucepan, 16/20/24 cm pots with glass lids, 24 cm (9.4 in) sauté · oven safe · dishwasher safe
A five-piece stainless set that includes the two pieces most sets omit: a milk pan and a deep 24 cm (9.4 in) sauté, both usable in an oven.
Best for: Equipping a kitchen in one purchase, including the pieces you would otherwise buy later.
