Simmer soups, stocks and sauces in this stainless steel Windsor pan-inspired stock pot. The conical shape and angled sides create a larger surface area resulting in improved evaporation and heat retention for faster cooking times. All Viking Contemporary cookware incorporates a layer of aluminum sandwiched between heavy-gauge stainless steel. 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. Like all Viking Contemporary cookware, this pan is constructed with an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of nonreactive, mirror-finished 18/8 stainless steel—providing exceptional heat transfer while making the pan durable and usable on all cooktops, including induction.
