This versatile three-piece cookware set includes a 7-quart stockpot, a stainless-steel insert, and a glass lid. On its own, the stockpot simmers soups and stews but the steamer insert makes the set additionally useful for pasta, corn on the cob, or other vegetables. Part of Anolon's Advanced line of cookware, the pot is composed of heavyweight hard-anodized aluminum, which heats food evenly with no hot spots. The interior and exterior of the pan are coated with three layers of DuPont's durable Autograph 2 nonstick surface for easy release of foods. Tested by professional chefs, the nonstick coating has proven to stand up to extended use in a restaurant. Oven-safe to 375 degrees F, the SureGrip handles on both the pot and pasta insert are made of durable 18/10 stainless steel and covered in a silicone rubber for a safe and heat-free grip. A shatterproof tempered glass lid lets you watch your food cook without releasing any nutrients by lifting the cover. Anolon Advanced cookware is covered by a lifetime limited warranty.

Product Description
Hard anodized aluminum is one of the best heat conductors around when it comes to cookware. It also heats evenly, so food cooks at a steady pace, wherever it's location in the pot or pan. Dupont Autograph 2 has been restaurant tested by professional chefs and has been found to surpass standard non-stick coatings both in performance and durability. This cookware is coated inside and out with Autograph 2 which makes cooking without added fat very easy, and which also makes cleaning up a snap. The handles are comfortable and securely riveted and the glass lids allow you to monitor cooking without loss of flavor, heat, or nutrients. This set comes with a covered stockpot and a pasta insert. Handy for pasta of course, but also for ears of corn, a head of broccoli, and without the insert for making soup or chili.
