ZWILLING officially describes SKU 66220-002-0 as a 5-piece cookware set. The set consists of five cookware vessels, with four matching glass lids supplied for the lidded pots – giving you 9 individual cookware and lid components in total.
SIGMA Classic+ Sandwich Base
At the heart of the ZWILLING Essence collection is the SIGMA Classic+ sandwich base, engineered for excellent heat distribution and heat retention.
Its multi-layer construction incorporates a substantial 4mm aluminium core, which absorbs heat efficiently and distributes it evenly across the base of the cookware.
This helps create consistent cooking conditions while the excellent heat retention allows you to maintain cooking temperatures efficiently.
The magnetic stainless steel exterior makes Essence suitable for all conventional stovetops, including induction.
Premium 18/10 Stainless Steel
The ZWILLING Essence collection is manufactured from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel.
Durable, hygienic and flavour-neutral, stainless steel will not affect the natural taste or aroma of your ingredients and provides a robust cooking surface designed for regular everyday use.
The cookware features an elegant satin finish, giving Essence its sophisticated, contemporary appearance.
Stay-Cool Cast Stainless Steel Handles
Essence features high-quality cast stainless steel handles with ZWILLING’s Stay-Cool functionality.
The handles are designed to remain pleasantly cool during normal stovetop cooking, providing comfortable and confident handling when moving or lifting your cookware.
The handles are welded to the cookware, contributing to the clean, streamlined design of the collection.
Close-Fitting Glass Lids
The Essence collection features beautifully designed close-fitting glass lids.
The transparent glass gives you a clear view of your food while it cooks, reducing the need to repeatedly remove the lid and release valuable heat and moisture.
Their close-fitting design also supports energy-efficient cooking with less water, while helping retain the natural aromas and flavours of your ingredients.
Integrated Measuring Scale
A practical integrated measuring scale inside the cookware allows you to measure liquids directly in the pot.
Whether you’re adding water, stock or another liquid ingredient, the internal markings make accurate measuring quick and convenient and can reduce the need for a separate measuring jug.
Excellent Heat Distribution & Retention
The SIGMA Classic+ base is designed not only to distribute heat effectively but also to retain it.
Once the cookware reaches the desired temperature, heat is distributed efficiently throughout the base, helping deliver consistent cooking results while supporting more energy-conscious cooking.
Suitable for All Heat Sources
The ZWILLING Essence cookware is suitable for:
✔ Induction
✔ Gas
✔ Electric
✔ Ceramic and other conventional stovetops

This versatility means Essence can continue to serve your kitchen even if you change your type of stovetop in the future.
Oven Safe
The cookware is suitable for use in the oven, giving you greater flexibility when preparing recipes that begin on the stovetop and are finished in the oven.
This makes Essence particularly useful for casseroles, braised dishes and other recipes that require different cooking methods.
