All-Clad 5.5-qt. Round Copper Core Dutch Oven

All Clad is known for its superb quality in cookware and this 5.5-qt. Dutch oven demonstrates why. It combines the excellent heat conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance and beauty of stainless steel. Crafted of a unique five-ply construction, the cookware contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. This pan is perfect for braising veal shanks, baking beans, or slow cooking stews and soups under its domed lid. The polished 18/10 stainless-steel lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's heat, even though it is oven-safe up to 500F degrees. Hand wash, as dishwasher-use will deteriorate the pan's exterior beauty.
