The conical sides are angled out to provide more surface area for evaporation, while the walls retain more heat resulting in faster cooking times. The vented glass lids allow you to monitor the cooking progress of your meal while reducing the chance of boil-overs. Sealed rims completely encapsulate the aluminum layer inside the stainless steel, preventing it from coming into contact with food. Internal volume markings on sauce and saute pans in both US and metric units make measuring easy.Viking Contemporary 3-Ply Cookware combines a layer of aluminum sandwiched between heavy-gauge stainless steel. The aluminum core provides exceptional heat transfer throughout the cookware, while the magnetic stainless steel exterior makes it incredibly durable and safe for all cooktops, including induction. The Viking signature stay-cool handles are ergonomically designed for a secure grip, comfort and balance, while remaining cool to the touch. The cookware is oven, broiler and grill safe up to 600°F/315°C (oven safe up to 400°F/204°C with glass lid), dishwasher safe and features a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.
