The Baccarat Capri + Stainless Steel 2.8L/18cm Saucepan with Lid has a few unique features that ensure it is a superior saucepan that you can use every day to create delicious food. It is constructed with an aluminium impact bonded encapsulated base. This means that a heavy 5mm aluminium core is surrounded by an 18/0 protective layer alongside the quality 18/10 stainless steel body. This is impact bonded to keep the layers securely together. The aluminium core spreads to the edges of the pan base ensuring even and quick heat distribution and the elimination of hot spots. This results in a greater cooking experience and the prevention of burning in the corners of the pan. Designed to give you a lifetime of cooking pleasure it is suitable for all cooktops including induction.
