Hestan ProBond Brushed Stainless Ultimate 10-piece set
6 pots and pans and 4 lids, for frying, sauces, one-pan meals 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
Six pans and four lids: 8.5- and 11-inch skillets, 1.5- and 3-quart saucepans, a 3.5-quart sauté pan and an 8-quart stockpot. Hestan says the lids are interchangeable and fit every pot and pan in the set. Tri-ply stainless with a pure aluminum core, handcrafted in Italy. Hestan says it works on every cooktop, induction included, may go in the dishwasher and takes metal utensils. Its specifications give 600°F for the oven and broiler, though a badge on the same page says 800°F; our tables use 600°F. The skillets weigh 1.63 and 2.81 lb; the saucepans, sauté pan and stockpot weigh 2.19 to 4.81 lb with their lids.
