Combining a contemporary design inspired by the Windsor pan with the tried-and-true performance of 3-ply stainless steel cookware, this saucepan is a kitchen workhorse. The conical shape and angled sides create a larger surface area resulting in improved evaporation and heat retention for faster cooking times. Features include internal markings in both US and metric units, seamless measuring while cooking, and a domed tempered glass lid that controls evaporation and heat circulation. All Viking Contemporary cookware incorporates a layer of aluminum sandwiched between heavy-gauge stainless steel. The magnetic stainless steel exterior makes this skillet an incredibly durable and safe choice for all cooktops, including induction and Viking's signature riveted stay-cool handles make it easier to maneuver around the kitchen comfortably.
