3-ply stainless steel: performance and durability in the kitchen
We're not telling you anything new, in the kitchen, quality utensils are essential for making all kinds of recipes, from simple sauces to the most complex dishes. At Atma, we are committed to providing you with utensils that will last a lifetime, and that starts with the materials we use, which form the basis of our utensils.
For those who already know us or who followed our Ulule campaign, you know that ourBonne Poêle is made of 100% stainless steel from 3-ply stainless steel. This will also be the case for our future cookware (saucepans, sauté pans, Dutch ovens). So, OK, but why is it so important that our stainless steel is 3-ply?
Because 3-ply stainless steel is one of those materials that has changed the game in the kitchen. In this article, we'll explore what 3-ply stainless steel is and examine its many benefits.
What is 3-ply stainless steel?
3-ply stainless steel, also known as multi-ply, is a material composed of three distinct layers of metal. At the heart of this steel is a central layer of aluminum (or copper in some cases), which is wrapped on each side by a layer of stainless steel. The inner layer is 18/10 stainless steel, fully compatible with food contact. The outer layer is a ferritic stainless steel, which allows for induction compatibility. These three layers are then fused together to form a strong, durable, and highly heat-conducting material.
The Benefits of Tri-Ply Stainless Steel
Exceptional Thermal Conductivity:
One of the most impressive features of tri-ply stainless steel is its ability to heat up quickly and distribute heat evenly across the entire cooking surface of a pan or pot. This means your food will cook evenly, eliminating hot spots and potential burns.
- Exceptional Durability: Thanks to its three-ply construction, 3-ply stainless steel is extremely durable. It resists scratches and warping, meaning your cookware will remain beautiful and functional for many years to come. And unlike pans with non-stick coatings, stainless steel won't damage or flake over time.
- Easy to clean: Stainless steel pans are very durable and can therefore be put in the dishwasher, or else soap and hot water are perfect.
- Versatility: 3-ply stainless steel cookware is suitable for all heat sources, including induction. They can go directly from the stovetop to the oven, making them versatile for all kinds of culinary preparations.
- Modern Aesthetic : In addition to their exceptional performance, 3-ply stainless steel utensils have a modern and elegant aesthetic that blends well into any kitchen.
As you can see, at Atma, we're fans of 3-ply stainless steel! Beyond that, investing in multi-ply stainless steel utensils means investing in high-performance and durable utensils that will last a lifetime.
