Calphalon Premier Stainless Steel 12-piece set
7 pots and pans and 5 lids, for frying, one-pan meals, sauces and soup or pasta. That covers all four everyday cooking jobs.
Works on induction. The maker gives no oven limit for the lids, so covered oven cooking is not confirmed.

What is included
Seven pans and five stainless steel lids: 8-, 10- and 12-inch frying pans, the 12-inch with a lid, a 3-quart sauté pan, 1.5- and 3.5-quart saucepans and a 6-quart stockpot. Five layers of metal with an aluminum core. Calphalon says it works on every stove, induction included, and goes in the oven to 500°F. This set’s page gives no lid figure, no broiler, dishwasher or utensil rule and no warranty; the page for the 8-piece set in the same line says it is dishwasher safe. Three frying pans make it a set for a cook who fries and sears most nights.
