A world-class collection of nonstick cookware, Emerilware bears the signature of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse (Bam!) and was created in partnership with renowned cookware maker All-Clad. Durable, heavy, and beautiful, Emerilware combines the contemporary style of charcoal-black, hard-anodized aluminum and the contemporary ease of nonstick. Key to the cookware's high performance is the exceptional thickness (5 mm) of the hard-anodized aluminum and three layers of tough nonstick. That means better heat retention and scratch resistance. Ideal for low-fat, healthful cooking, Emerilware carries a lifetime warranty against defects.
This 8-quart Dutch oven dramatically displays Emerilware's virtues. With its domed lid it's ideal for cooking on the stovetop or in the oven. Without the lid it can be used to simmer a stock or soup. In any case, it's beautiful enough to be borne triumphantly to the table. The 18/10 stainless-steel lid has a gleaming mirror finish and fits tightly on the pan's flared lip, which also prevents drips while pouring. Polished loop handles cast of stainless steel are riveted to the pan for strength, stay cool on the stovetop, and are oven-safe. Emerilware should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
