(Reading, PA – November 3, 2008) – Today, BlueStar™, the manufacturer of high-performance gas ranges, cooktops, and hoods for the residential market, has announced the introduction of its first line of professional-quality cookware for the home. Manufactured to handle the rigors of high heat cooking, BlueStar cookware features try-ply construction – utilizing a thin layer of highly conductive aluminum wrapped in two layers of professional grade stainless steel – to produce the perfect combination of quick and consistent heat conductivity.

“BlueStar cookware performs well on any cooking surface, but it was manufactured specifically to handle the 22,000 BTU power of BlueStar cooktops. The durable, outside stainless steel layer provides durability, while the professional-grade stainless steel interior layer ensures an even cooking surface; the cookware’s aluminum core provides quick and even heat distribution. The combination of stainless steel and aluminum results in a product that not only heats quickly and evenly, but is also easy to clean and durable enough to last a lifetime.”

BlueStar cookware also features easy-grip, ergonomic handles that stay cool during stovetop cooking and are designed for maximum comfort and ease of use. The extra-large handles provide increased finger clearance; while the stock pots and sauce pans feature helper handles, making the cookware easier to transport when full. Each piece of cookware is dishwasher safe and oven-safe up to 500°F.

BlueStar cookware is available in a 5 piece set and an 8 piece set. The 5 piece set includes a 6 quart stock pot with cover; a 3 quart sauce pot with cover; and a 10-inch fry pan. The 8 piece set also includes an 8-inch fry pan and a 2-quart sauce pan with cover. The 5 piece set retails for $395 and the 8 piece set retails for $595. The line is available through BlueStar’s online store. Each set of BlueStar cookware is manufactured in the USA and offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
