Anodized to absorb and distribute heat quickly and efficiently, this handy saucepan is essential for cooking alfredo sauce, mushroom gravy and basmati rice to perfection. It is also quite handy for heating and reheating soups. A tempered-glass lid with a polished stainless steel handle controls heat and humidity levels, and the high sides of the pan make for mess-free stirring. The triple-bonded nonstick surface ensures smooth food release and easy cleanup, even after cooking at high temperatures.
