Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

Are the capacities given in the description exact?

The capacity given for this cookware is an estimate and may be off by +/- 10%.

How can I properly care for this aluminum item?

Hand washing is always the best option to ensure that your aluminum stays in best working order. However, if you decide to clean these in a dishwasher, we strongly recommend using metal-safe detergents and sanitizers to eliminate any flaking or tarnishing that could occur from some harsher cleaners.

What's the difference between a riveted and a welded handle?

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.

This pot is very lightweight for the amount of food it can hold. It looks great next to my stainless cookware, and it is great for cooking large batches of stews for the family.

When you need to do large batches this is where it is at. I just made enough green beans today for 200 and had room to spare.

After getting disappointed with the quality of their standard pots, I am in love with these. Very thick sides and bottom prevent the sauce from getting burnt, saving us money in the long run. Right size for making plenty of sauce. We love them

These are great for making large batches of sauce or small batches of stock. Very inexpensive for the nice 3 gallon size! Definitely worth it!
