Pans in the Atlantis collection have a 3-layer steel bottom that they call TriplInduct. Since steel is magnetic and ultra-durable, having three layers of steel at the bottom of each pan provides better efficiency on induction cooktops and ensures the cookware will never warp.

On the positive side, it keeps oil and fat directly under the food instead of letting it run to the edges. Rendered fat stays under the meat and helps it brown more evenly.
The texture also creates small pockets of air that help reduce sticking.
