Overview
Belgique Classique Cookware Overview
Classique keeps things simple. The pots and pans have polished stainless bodies, an aluminum layer in the base for heat spread, glass lids and riveted handles. They are lighter than the Gourmet line, so they are comfortable for draining pasta or moving a full pot.
Classique vs Gourmet
The main tradeoff is mass. Classique heats quickly and is easy to handle, while Gourmet holds heat better for searing thanks to heavier construction. For boiling, simmering and everyday sautes, Classique does the job well.
