This is the 10-quart saucepot that will never burn sauces or stews, even if the busy saucier forgets to stir. The base of this pot is lined with seven layers of alternating stainless steel and aluminum, enclosing a hermetically sealed silicone oil chamber. That chamber acts as a permanent double boiler, distributing heat evenly and guarding against abrupt shifts in temperature. In lesser pots, sauces must be stirred constantly, otherwise they can easily scorch and impart a burned flavor¿to say nothing of the difficulty of scouring afterward. The heat distribution in this pot ensures that even dense meals like chowder and chili need never be stirred while left to thicken on the stove. The outer shell of the pot is made of 1.2 mm stainless steel, easily twice the thickness of common cookware, and its lid is tempered glass. The twin handles are heat-resistant for easy carrying. Hand wash. 8" H x 12" Diam. (12 lbs.)
