Vigor 80 Qt. Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Aluminum-Clad Stock Pot with Cover

A riveted handle is connected by small metal pieces (called rivets) that are crushed between the handle and the pan body to attach them together. This type of handle is more common on copper and aluminum cookware.

For a handle to be welded, the metal must first be melted and then adhered to the pan body. This creates a strong bond that leaves little to no space in between, so bacteria and other food crumbs can’t collect and cause sanitation issues. Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.

Vigor Cookware is designed with a very slight concave bottom surface to allow the metal to expand when heating up without warping. This feature allows for the cookware to still be induction-compatible and will ensure optimal operating temperature when in use.
