Imagine boiling lobsters or creating a huge pot of stew in this giant stainless steel stockpot. The ''full cap'' base has an aluminum core for even heating. It's dishwasher safe, and because of the stainless steel handles, it can be placed in the oven up to 500°. A favorite piece for any crowd-pleasing chef, this pan can handle it all! With its ''Full Cap'' Base Advantage, a stainless steel protector surrounds a thicker aluminum core for easy maintenance and better heat distribution. Since the entire surface is stainless steel, cleanup is easier. Enjoy a lifetime of beauty!
