The Cutco Product
What are the benefits of the Double-D® edge?
3 razor sharp cutting edges that are recessed and run along the blade edge.
Extra: These cutting edges are angled to cut forward, backward and straight down with equal efficiency. The points protect the cutting edges by preventing them from coming in contact with china, glass, bone, metal or other surfaces that can quickly dull cutting edges. The Double-D® recessed edge provides a clean smooth cut every time and stays sharp longer than straight-edge knives.
Does it take longer to cook using the low-moisture method?
No, it generally takes much less time to cook with the low-moisture method. Because Cutco Cookware is designed to distribute consistent heat to all sides from the bottom up, the sides in and the top down, foods cook evenly and faster at a lower temperature.
Can Pruners cut wire?
DO NOT cut wire or metal with pruner blades as it will damage the cutting edges and void the guarantee.

Can the pots and pans be used in the oven?
With the exception of the Gourmet Fry Pans and the Griddle, we do not recommend using the Cookware in the oven. It is designed for stove top use. Cookware with thermo-set plastic handles should not be used under the broiler. If thermo-set plastic handles are placed in the oven at low temperatures the handles will probably not burn. They will, however, begin to dry and crack over time if used this way.
