Overview

In an induction kitchen, this casserole brings a hard-anodized aluminum body with a raised-circle nonstick interior and rubberized stainless handles. The glass lid lets you watch stews and braises while the pot is closed.

A large capacity, a lid you can see through and dishwasher cleaning are the reasons to consider it for soups, stews and casseroles. The nonstick surface calls for gentle utensils, and the oven rating is moderate.

Who it's for

Home cooks who stew, braise and bake casseroles and want easy cleanup with a big capacity. People who sear at very high heat or finish dishes in a very hot oven should look at a different material.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Works on induction
  • Glass lid lets you watch cooking
  • Nonstick system for easy cleanup
  • Rubberized handles for a comfortable grip
Cons
  • Nonstick limits metal utensils
  • Oven rating is moderate
  • Large and heavy for small stoves

Performance notes

Hard-anodized aluminum spreads heat evenly, and the induction-compatible exterior lets the pot work on an induction cooktop. The raised circles of the TOTAL system in the interior are there to help release and cleanup. The lid holds in heat and moisture for stewing, and its holes can strain liquid.
