Similar to a Dutch oven, the saucepot is wide and deep with straight sides and a slightly domed lid -- perfect for cooking stews or soups quickly yet with all the flavor and tenderness of slow-simmering. About Anolon Advanced: With cool, comfortable SureGrip handles and the most advanced nonstick formula inside and out, Anolon Advanced brings a new level of ease to serious cooking. Heavy-gauge hard-anodized aluminum is twice as strong as steel for superior strength and even heat distribution. Tested in restaurant kitchens, DuPont's Autograph 2 nonstick formula delivers unsurpassed durability, flawless release, and easy cleanup. Innovative ergonomic handles are stainless steel sheathed in silicone rubber for a firm, comfortable hold that stays cool during stovetop use; Oven-safe to 375 degrees F. . Slightly domed lids are break-resistant tempered glass with stainless steel rims, allowing you to monitor cooking without releasing heat, so flavors are concentrated and nutrients retained. Hand-washing recommended. Imported. Purchase $99.99 or more of Anolon® brand products and receive a FREE Anolon® Advanced 10" Round Griddle ($40 Value). Offer valid 1/1/06-4/30/06.
