For high-performance nonstick cooking with little to no fat, this braiser holds its own. With its durable nonstick interior, you can keep meats and vegetables from sticking to the pan on the stovetop or in the oven. Calphalon's original nonstick line, Professional Nonstick II cookware is constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum, so it heats more quickly and evenly than other cookware for more efficient long-haul braising. Even more critical to the braising process, the stainless steel band helps the lid fit snugly so liquid can't escape. Tempered glass lids lock in flavors while cooking and allow you to monitor your food's progress. With no-slip textured handles on the lid and sides, this specialty pot's even attractive enough to serve from. All Professional Nonstick II cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. The nonstick coating is guaranteed to be scratch- and peel-resistant as long as metal utensils are never used. Hand washing is recommended.
