Cook like an expert. Anodized to absorb, distribute and transfer heat evenly and efficiently, this saucepan stews sauces, simmers soups and boils peas to perfection. The fast-heating aluminum pan boasts a stainless steel base that resists warping and heats evenly. Comfort-grip stainless steel handles provide a sturdy grip as you stir, while the high walls contain splatters. Top with the glass lid to seal in heat and moisture. Three layers of durable non-stick finish ensure easy release and quick cleanup in the dishwasher.All-Clad has been crafting cookware since 1971.
