Designed help make flavorful stock, this pot is also big enough to handle large batches of soup, or beans, or pasta. The thick, hard-anodized aluminum construction conducts heat evenly and efficiently through the sides as well as the base, ideal for gentle simmering, and a tempered glass lid seals in flavor while keeping the contents visible. Because a long handle would be awkward on a pan of this size, the saucepan has two stay-cool loop handles, so it's easy to maneuver even when full.
