The efficient shape of the Anolon Advanced Bronze Hard Anodized Nonstick 4-1/2-Quart Covered Tapered Stockpot is ideal for foods that cook slowly, like a fragrant, simmering marinara sauce created with fresh-picked Roma tomatoes and sweet Italian basil. The stockpot's heavy-duty hard-anodized construction promotes even and efficient heating, and the sleek and modern bronze nonstick exterior adds a timeless touch of style to any kitchen decor. Restaurant-quality DuPont Autograph 2 nonstick interior is long lasting and metal utensil safe, and makes cleaning up effortless after preparing a hearty cannellini bean and turkey chili. Color-coordinated Anolon SureGrip handles are dual riveted for extra strength and designed for a comfortable grasp. The break-resistant glass lid allows for constant monitoring of food while it cooks, locking in heat and moisture, and the stockpot is oven safe to 400 F. This essential stockpot is the perfect complement to all other pieces in the Anolon Advanced collections. With its elegant shape and sleek design, this Anolon Advanced Bronze Hard Anodized Nonstick 4-1/2-Quart Covered Tapered Stockpot is a graceful and efficient addition to the gourmet-quality kitchen.
