Cool grip riveted handles for ease of use, durable hard anodized exterior, Quantanium non-stick interior, tempered glass covers seal in flavour, hard anodized, oven-safe construction. A sturdy medium-sized saucepan is one of the most frequently used pieces of cookware, and this 2.8l pan from Cuisinart will give years of faithful service. Perfect for quickly blanching vegetables or slowly simmering pasta sauces, this saucepan lends itself to a multitude of kitchen tasks. The thick, hard-anodized aluminium construction conducts heat evenly and efficiently through the sides as well as the base, and the wide shape speeds up the reduction of sauces. A tempered glass lid seals in flavour while keeping the contents visible, and a specially designed rim allows for easy drip-free pouring. Cuisinart Chef's Classic hard-anodized cookware features an advanced Quantanium nonstick coating, designed for healthy low-fat cooking. The coating is tough enough for use with metal utensils. Even delicate foods like fish can be cooked without sticking, and cleanup is quick and easy. Every pan is constructed from durable 3mm hard-anodized aluminium, providing superb heat transfer without hot spots. The securely riveted stay-cool steel handles are oven-safe to 500 degrees F, so food can be browned on the stovetop then transferred to the oven to finish cooking.
