Optional Accessories
- Signature Gourmet Cookware Collection
-
Dacor's Signature Gourmet Cookware is truly innovative. This state-of-the-art cookware set goes beyond the ordinary with five metal layers: T304 stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, more aluminum, and more 18/10 stainless Steel. The "Hot Dots" technology adds a thick (3.5mm) aluminum disk which is impact bonded to the base of the five-ply body under hundreds of thousands of pounds of pressure. The "Hot Dots" partially expose the aluminum disk in the form of holes, or "dots", which allow the flame direct contact with the aluminum. As a result, heat conductivity is facilitated quicker (on average, 15% faster than pots considered best in the world at this feature), not just at the base but throughout the entire pan. Treat yourself and you will taste the rewards.
Included in this 7-piece Signature Gourmet Collection are:
(1) 1.75-quart saucepan with cover
(1) 3.0-quart saucepan with cover
(1) 3.5-quart saucier with cover
(1) 9.5" skillet (no cover)
Life-time warranty included.
