Know before you buy
The 5-ply stainless clad construction layers different metals to provide superior heat distribution and responsiveness. This prevents hot spots and allows for precise temperature control, which is essential for consistent results when searing or braising.
Yes, the pot is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges. Its magnetic stainless steel exterior ensures efficient energy transfer for fast, even heating.
A 6-quart rondeau is ideal for braising short ribs, making stews, or preparing large batches of risotto. Its wide surface area allows you to brown meat effectively before adding liquids for a slow simmer.
The handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, if you are using the pot in the oven, the handles will become hot and you should always use oven mitts.
The brushed finish is durable and hides minor scratches well. For daily cleaning, warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge are sufficient, though a stainless steel cleaner can be used periodically to remove stubborn heat tints or water spots.
The rivets are flush with the interior wall, which makes them easier to clean than traditional protruding rivets. While you will still need to wipe around them, the design minimizes the crevices where food particles typically get trapped.
