This classic cookware piece is ideal for frying a variety of meats, poultry or fish. Tightly lidded, the saute pan tenderly finishes the cooking process with delicious results. The high, straight sides hold large capacities and prevent ingredients from spilling over while stirring or flipping; the tapered rim helps prevent drips when pouring off juices. The hard-anodized exterior is durable, dense and non-porous and one of the best materials for absorbing and distributing heat. The interior is made of Quantanium nonstick, reinforced with titanium so foods release easily, cooking is healthier with no added oils and cleanup is super quick. The cool-grip handle is dual riveted for added strength; a helper handle facilitates lifting when the pan is full. The glass lid is tempered and fits snugly so moisture and flavors stay locked in.
