This design promotes even heat distribution, which helps prevent hot spots and scorching when you are simmering large batches of soup or stock.

The handles are riveted stainless steel, designed for a secure and durable grip. Because they are metal, they will get hot during cooking, so you should always use oven mitts or pot holders when moving the pot from the stovetop.
