Impact-bonded aluminum bases provide fast, even heating. Safe for the stove, oven, broiler, and dishwasher. Long, ergonomic handles provide a secure grip even with full, heavy pans, stay cool even when pan is hot, and are double-riveted by hand. Fill lines make measuring easy, and covers have straining holes that line up with pour spouts to drain liquids without having to use a separate colander. Flat, wide bottoms heat evenly and provide plenty of room for cooking. The sloped sides are designed for easy tossing and rolling. Protected by Calphalon's full 10-year warranty.
