Thanks to the thick aluminum and the stainless steel base, these heat evenly and retain heat well, but they’re also responsive enough that I was able to turn down the heat when my eggnog started simmering lightly, and I was able to keep it from progressing to a boil that would have curdled the nog.
Besides being able to use these on gas or electric stoves, they’re also induction compatible and oven safe to an impressive 500 degrees. While I don’t often need to use cookware in an oven to a temperature that high, it’s good to know these can handle it if I accidentally adjust the heat too high.
