Make a mean portion of chili or hearty stew with this 8-quart stock pot!  It offers superb heat conductivity and distribution.  You won't get ""hot spots,"" so food cooks evenly.  Stainless steel exterior layer with a band of copper for superior heat conductivity.  The saucier has a copper core surrounded by two layers of aluminum and a stainless steel cooking surface.  Polished stainless steel handles stay cool during cooking and are secured with sturdy, non-corrosive rivets.  Stainless steel lid fits flush to pan so you can seal in the food's flavor.  Hand washing is recommended.
