Fast, even heating and reliable everyday performance for stovetop, oven, broiler, and dishwasher use. Key benefits - Fast, even heating: impact-bonded aluminum bases deliver quick, uniform heat across the cooking surface so food cooks consistently. - Less evaporation, better results: high sides and a narrow opening reduce evaporation during long, slow processes like stock- and soup-making. - Safer, more comfortable handling: long ergonomic handles provide a secure grip even with full, heavy pans, stay cool when the pan is hot, and are double-riveted by hand for strength. - Easier measuring and draining: built-in fill lines make measuring simple; lids with straining holes line up with pour spouts so you can drain liquids without a separate colander. - Better stirring and heat distribution: the heavy-gauge sloped bottom promotes even heating and makes stirring ingredients easier.
