Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With its glossy, charcoal gray exterior, this brasier may not look like the matte-finish hard-anodized cookware you're used to, but it's fortunate that it is. The anodizing process makes aluminum up to twice as hard as stainless steel, and the aluminum core makes heating quick and even, eliminating hot spots. For this professional-quality brasier, KitchenAid uses five extra manufacturing steps to produce a stain- and scratch-resistant exterior. The pan's interior is lined with 18/10 stainless steel, which stands up to metal whisks and spatulas. The brasier's tight-fitting lid seals liquids inside, allowing you to transform less-expensive meats such as chicken legs into a fragrant family meal of chicken cacciatore.

Low to medium heat offers the best cooking performance, and because of the quick, even performance of hard-anodized cookware, that should be all you need. To minimize sticking when you sear or sauté, preheat the pan for one to two minutes over low heat. Hand wash with mild detergent. --Irene Svete
