American Kitchen cookware is made of three layers for exceptional (and consistent) results every single time. The inside is stainless steel for incredible durability. The outside layer is made of high-density 400-series stainless steel, which means you can use it on any surface (gas, induction, electric, ceramic glass — you name it). The 1050A aluminum core is commercial grade for ultimate performance. American Kitchen stainless steel cookware is ultra durable, stain resistant and dish washer safe, so you can enjoy it with those you love for years to come. The cookware comes with stainless steel handles that are built for performance. They stay cool when you are cooking on the stove and are ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and efficiency. How do I cook with my stainless steel cookware? Always preheat your pans on low to medium heat before adding your ingredients. Although you can cook with oil if you want to, it’s not a necessity. What utensils should I use on my American Kitchen Cookware? Feel free to use your metal tools on our stainless steel pans — they won’t hurt them one bit. How should I clean my stainless steel pans? Allow cookware to cool to room temperature before cleaning. Rinse pan and wash in soapy water to remove stains or stuck-on food. For stubborn stains or discoloration, gently rub in a paste of water and a non-abrasive, non-chlorine stainless steel cleanser. FYI, it’s also dishwasher safe.
