Combining a rugged saucepot, two first-rate kitchen knives, and a beautiful cookbook, this set makes a terrific gift for a cook looking to move up to world-class kitchenware. The 4-1/2-quart saucepot is from Calphalon's Professional Hard-Anodized line. Made of heavy aluminum so it heats evenly, the saucepot is perfect for simmering a pasta sauce, slow cooking chili, or braising lamb shanks. Because it's hard-anodized, the pot is harder than steel, resists scratches and dents, and is naturally stick-resistant. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. Chrome-plated, cast-iron handles are multiriveted for durability and balance and are oven-safe to 700 degrees F. The knives are made of German steel and come with bolsters, full tangs, and classic three-rivet handles. The color cookbook,
Weekends, is written by and for Calphalon and contains unique recipes that are perfect for entertaining friends.
