Not all cookware is created equal.
Many pans feature a multi-layered construction, where different metals are expertly fused together in thin layers to create the ideal balance of heat, performance and durability. This layered design is known as 'ply' or 'cladded' cookware.

Each metal brings its own advantage - whether it’s heat conductivity, retention or strength. Combining them allows for faster, more even cooking and longer-lasting performance in the kitchen.

So what’s the real difference between 1-ply, 3-ply, and 5-ply cookware - and why does it matter?
