The saucepan is a time and space saver, a necessity for today's kitchens. The pour spout and draining lid ensure drip-free pouring, while two different-sized draining holes provide superior control. The flavor lock lid seals in moisture and nutrients for healthier, more flavorful results every time. The exclusively designed aluminum encapsulated base provides superior heat conductivity and even heat distribution to meet the demands of gourmet chefs everywhere. The mirror finish, classic look, and professional performance of stainless steel are an investment that will prove its worth every time used. The 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface does not discolor, react with food, or alter flavors and easily cleans to its original brilliant finish. The saucepan will give countless years of service and pleasure. No other piece of cookware performs with the versatility of a saucepan. It is a kitchen essential, working hard from morning until night.
