Offering maximum efficiency through modern technology, this stock pot from All-Clad bonds five distinct layers in a perfect harmony of cooking performance. The stock pot features a patented, three-layer aluminum and steel core that propels heat sideways, eliminating hot spots and driving through the entire pan, not just the base. The stainless steel interior is non-reactive, and the magnetic exterior layer is well suited to induction cooktops as well as traditional gas and electric stoves.
