Product Description
Thermal cookware is just catching on in the United States, but it has been popular in Europe for years. For good reason. It uses 60 percent less energy and much less water than traditional cooking. This means more nutrition and more flavor. Kuhn Rikon Hotpan Thermal Cookware combines superb functionality with precision Swiss design. The mirror-polished stainless cooking pans have a think aluminum sandwich bottom for fast and even heat distribution. The lids snug into the wide pot rim and are double-walled for increased heat insulation. On the inside, lids are lower in the middle than around the edge. This design forces condensation from cooking foods to gather and fall from the center of the lid back into the pan instead of escaping from around the rim. The stay cool high-heat resistant handles don't take up room on the stove. Hotpan's brightly colored serving holder of high quality, scratch resistant melamine acts as a thermal blanket, retaining heat. Food stays hot, fresh and delicious for up to 2 hours when the stainless steel cook pan is placed in the insulating holder.

High quality, practical, does keep food hot a lot longer,
This review is from: Kuhn Rikon Hotpan Casserole 3 Quart, Green (Kitchen)
I just inherited this braiser and its 4.5 quart companion. A friend regifted them to me because "it was an impulse buy three years ago, I just loved the color, but they've been sitting on my kitchen shelves gathering dust - I just know they'll be happier in your kitchen."Having already owned two great braisers and preferring to plate meals instead of serving them family-style, I didn't see how these pots would be useful in my kitchen. The green apple color of the melamine is lovely, but why even bother using that? Well, let me tell you, they really work. The food does stay hot in these pots a lot longer. I made chicken stock in the 4.5 quart pot and took it straight from the burner to the melamine holder and it stayed hot all afternoon. I usually make stock in my 7 quart Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker (I just use the pot without pressure for that) and the stock is already lukewarm after four hours. However, precisely because these pots keep food quite hot for hours, I would not use them for meals containing ingredients which might overcook and even disintegrate once they've reached a certain heat point (e.g., rice, pasta, sweet potatoes, squash, lentils). The pots are beautifully made, sturdy and don't seem to have developed hot spots and the lids do keep moisture in. Nice, comfortable handles, too. The melamine holders can be used as funky bowls. A great choice for people who enjoy cooking, prefer to serve food family-style and could use a couple of extra bowls made from high quality melamine.
