The aluminum disc is designed to provide even heat distribution across the base, which helps eliminate hot spots. This makes it much more reliable for simmering stews or slow-cooking dishes that are prone to burning at the bottom.

The handles are riveted for durability and designed with a wide, ergonomic shape to provide a secure grip. Because they are made of stainless steel, they will get hot on the stovetop, so you should always use oven mitts when handling.

Yes, the brushed 18/10 stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand-washing with a non-abrasive sponge is recommended if you want to maintain the exterior's brushed finish over the long term.

The steam vent prevents pressure buildup inside the pot, which helps prevent the lid from rattling while simmering. It also allows you to monitor your food without needing to lift the lid and lose heat.
