WHAT'S 5-PLY COOKWARE?
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?
5-PLY CONSTRUCTION
Best value 5-ply on the market with five layers of stainless steel, aluminium and Genius Copper™.
PRECISION CONTROL
Stainless steel outer with a copper core for control and even heat distribution

- BTBrenda T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2025Mako Genius !
These frying pans have seriously changed my life. Cooking in them is an absolute pleasure and barely any oil is needed which is great from a health aspect as well as a cost one. I wish I’d purchased them sooner. They are so easy to clean up as well. I’ve chosen to hand wash rather than risk them in the dishwasher but even a simple wipe with a little oil on paper towel is enough. I love them so much and I’ll never use crappy cheap saucepans ever again. Amazing

I have to say the Mako Genius Essential Pan with lid has changed my cooking time considerably . I have had my full flex Vzug induction cook top for a few years and this pan has been a game changer. Although my older pans were compatible they didn’t perform like this pan has. Faster cooking time, perfect size for cooking sauces and stews for upto 10 big eaters, great lid style and looks fabulous on my stove top. I’ve purchased a number of items from Cook Dine Host and they have all lived upto and/or exceeded my expectations.
- KMKathryn M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsOctober 12, 2024Amazing cookware
I have an induction cooktop and for years have been buying the top brands of saucepans only to get a year out of them before I have to stop using them as the coating wears off. Mako has changed everything. Hot even cooking. I love them. No scratching or flaking. The best frypans I have ever used. I will buying the saucepans next. As a cook it has become a joy to use these pans as I am getting hot consistent cooking. I love the long handles and the pans feel great to use.
- JJessRated 5 out of 5 starsAugust 28, 2024What a pan!
This has become one of my favourite pieces to cook with. I have traded in my Dutch oven for one of these pans, it is now one of my most used pieces. This pan is the perfect size and depth to cook a pasta dish or curry, and anything low and slow on the stove. Such a great quality product.
- JSJennifer S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsJune 1, 2026A great free pan!
What’s not to love about a free pan when it’s such a good quality like this one. Good solid weight, great handle and terrific non stick surface. It came free with my other 2 pan set I ordered.
