In most cases, tri-ply bottom cookware means just that - three ply material is used on the bottom of the cookware. Let's look at a pan and check it out. An aluminum pan is usually one ply. It's all aluminum. It's a good conductor of heat, and it works well. Some pans are copper on the bottom but have a stainless steel body (and interior). The copper and stainless make a two-ply construction. The copper conducts heat well (several tens of times better than stainless), and the stainless makes for an inert and long-wearing cooking surface. In try-ply, we usually see a stainless pan, a fat copper "disk" on the bottom, and another layer of stainless over the copper (which "seals it in" there). These pans are all stainless on the outside and inside. Stainless steel is extremely tough and resistant to corrosion. They wear forever. But stainless isn't a good conductor of heat. That little disk of copper sandwiched in between the stainless layers on the tri-plybottom makes the pan heat more quickly and cook more evenly.

What is the best cookware for gas cookers?
On a gas range, any cookware is good. You want a pan that will conduct the heat efficiently to prevent wasting energy. Just about any cast iron or annodized aluminum pan will be efficient. Stainless steel cookware should be be full tri-ply (also called all-clad pro-clad, etc). Standard stainless steel has the conductive metal only on the bottom, thus heat from a gas range would not enter through the sides of the pan. Try-ply stainless has the conductive metal on the bottom and the sides and allows good heat conduction.
What set of cookware can you buy that is almost as good as all clad but is cheaper?
Calphalon Tri-ply, Calphalon Contemporary stainless Steel, and Emeralware Pro-Clad are all really good.

What are the best ways to choose cookware with a thick bottom for even heat distribution?
When choosing cookware with a thick bottom for even heat distribution, look for materials like stainless steel or copper, which conduct heat well. Check for a flat bottom to ensure good contact with the heat source. Additionally, consider the weight of the cookware, as heavier pots and pans often indicate thicker bottoms that distribute heat more evenly.
What is symbol for induction saucepan's?
There is no standardized symbol. Most newer pans will actually have "suitable for induction" or something of that aspect on the bottom of the cookware. An easier way is to bring a magnet, yes, an ordinary refrigerator magnet with you when you shop for cookware. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it's metallic compound is magnetic, so that cookware will work. Since induction technology is based on electromagnetic energy transfer, a pan that attracts a magnet will work. Andrea, 23. Oregon
