Simmer your favorite soups and stews using Thermalloy® cookware. This 16 quart stock pot works on gas electric ceramic halogen and induction heat sources. For best results stainless steel and aluminum cookware should be seasoned before first use. Pre‐seasoning Instructions: After cleaning and drying coat the cookware lightly with vegetable oil or a small amount of shortening. Place on medium heat burner for 10 to 15 minutes until light smoke appears. Turn off heat and allow pan to cool and wipe off excess oil with a paper towel. Three layers provide superior thermal conductivity. Stainless Steel top layer for excellent cooking performance. Aluminum middle layer for even heat transfer. Stainless Steel outer layer is induction ready and easy to clean. “Stay Cool” die cast handle secured by double rivets. Suitable for use on gas electric ceramic induction and halogen heat sources. Oven safe to 500°F. Oversized handles attached with 4 rivets. Cash & Carry packaging. Two‐tone exterior finish (satin with mirror band) on most pieces. Awarded The American Culinary Federation Seal Of Approval.
