Specially packaged, each piece arrives in its own cloth bag with drawstring closure. The soft bag (one for the pan and one for the lid) prevents scratches when storing and dust from collecting; it also makes a handsome gift for giving. On the outside, a mirror finish, magnetic stainless steel offers professional looks so popular in today's kitchens while an 18/10 satin stainless steel interior helps disguise the signs of wear and tear. Sandwiched in-between is a layer of thick aluminum. All provide the maximum heat conductivity for superior cooking performance. The pan's interior has curved contours (not hard, right angles) so food particles won't stick and cleanup is quick. And to help you wDesigned with straight, relatively high sides, this three-quart, covered sauté pan is ideal for braising meats, adding potatoes and other ingredients, and sautéing onions without splatter. Because of the non-stick finish, very little grease is needed, resulting in healthier eating. The long handle, riveted for strength and curved for comfort and control, stays cool thanks to its hollow design and V-connection, and features a generous hole for hanging. Nylon or silicone whisks, spoons, and cleaning brushes all glide smoothly along the curved inner contour of the pan, and the stainless-steel lid fits snugly on the flared, easy-pour rim.
J.A. Henckels International, the economical division of Zwilling J.A. Henckels, makes the durable Classic Clad series for serious home cooks. Clad in gleaming stainless steel, each piece is constructed with an aluminum inner core that covers not just the bottom but the sides as well, resulting in efficient, even heating at low temperatures. The durable, three-ply, non-stick coating is infused with stainless steel for added strength. Henckels recommends washing non-stick Classic Clad pieces by hand, and covers the cookware with a limited lifetime warranty against defects. Each piece comes in a soft, drawstring gift/storage bag. --Ann Bieri
