Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless-Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set or MultiClad Unlimited™ 12-Piece Set?

In the first the aluminum is sandwiched between the stainless steel and the Unlimited has stainless steel interior and anodizes aluminum outside. So I was wondering which is better...they are the same price.

blondelle- What does "inuction capable" mean?

[Dee S]

"Induction capable" means the cookware contains ferrous metals, which will allow the magnetic current to be distributed. You can test cookware by applying a magnet to the bottom; if it sticks, you can use on an induction cooktop.

I have several pieces of the Multiclad Stainless line and love how they perform on my gas stove. Easy clean up as well. You can throw the stainless in the dishwasher, if necessary. The anodized exterior of the Multiclad Unlimited won't allow dishwasher use (anodized aluminum gets etched by the strong dishwasher detergents and will appear cloudy; you can't get that off).

Sorry, meant to say induction capable. Thanks for explaining!

Go with the stainless. Easier to clean and it will look better longer. Not sure if the stainless is induction capable, but the anodized definitely isn't.

Amen to that. You can't kill stainless.
