Precision forged and feature-driven, this extremely durable saucepan features a thick base, thin walls, and an ultra-tough rim twice as hard as stainless steel. Lid seals in heat and flavor, and the long-lasting, sapphire-reinforced, triple-layer nonstick delivers effortless food release with enhanced durability and luster. In fact, Accolade's optimal food release lasts more than 16x longer than traditional nonstick and more than 80x longer than typical ceramic cookware.
