Label usually says the cookware is a lamination of those metals but doesn’t specify what total thickness or millage is?. Generally, knowing the history of the brand is helpful — maybe the clerk has some literature or a warranty.
1) Basically, the outer ply of metal would be sturdy for durability but with good heat transfer to the inner plies.
2) the center ply continues to provide strength and heat transfer.
3) the innermost ply’s function is the avoidance of passing metal ‘taste’ into the food while providing an even distribution of the heat without ‘hot-spots’.

my hubby is a chef guru…..he says it’s good quality. its made of stainless steel, and aluminum. it’s called an encapsulated bottom. and that is exactly what you want for even heat distribution.
it’s more than decent
hope this helps ya

it means 3 layer.
probably layers of different metals.
it is usually good, but that alone is not a guarantee.
