Versatile and oversized for maximum output, this high-performance pot with professional-grade construction features a durable, heavy-gauge stainless steel interior and extra-thick aluminum core for even heat distribution. Bonded to the aluminum core is a hand-polished 18/10 stainless interior that won't react with food and a magnetic stainless exterior polished to a high shine. Tight-fitting stainless lid locks in heat, moisture and flavor. Large-capacity pot lends itself to stews, stocks and soups, while the drainer insert lets you lift hot pasta right out of the water and doubles as a strainer for cooked vegetables. Compatible for everyday use with traditional electric or gas ranges as well as ceramic and induction cooktops.
