Retro™, winner of the 2014 red dot design award, is like its namesake suggests: a throwback to a classic and elegant style from the past. Retro is a fresh and trendy take on a traditional design. The philosophy of Retro is to bring a timeless look to a modern audience, evoking warm memories from a not too distant era. Whether you are cooking for yourself or your friends and family, Retro's pastel-like colors create an inviting ambiance. Equipped with a soft touch handle, Retro's unique yet familiar look will surely complement any kitchen. Retro's cast aluminum design provides multiple benefits to the user. Retro's thick wall gauge provides durability and a quality feel. Known for its exceptional durability and high heat conductivity, cast aluminum is rising in popularity as a safe and affordable alternative to stainless steel. At just 1/3 the weight of cast iron, cast aluminum's even heat distribution properties allow for fast cooking and reduced energy consumption. Furthermore, the cast aluminum body and lid work in conjunction to create a convection effect, producing currents of hot air for more efficient cooking.
