The All-Clad Copper Core Pasta Pentola Stock Pot is great for steaming or making foods that require straining small particles, such as meat or veggie stocks. It gets its name from two Italian words "pentola", which means pot and as its name implies, it's great for boiling pasta. That's because of its high sides and the included stainless pasta insert, which you can just lift to drain without damaging the delicate starches. At 7-quarts, it accommodates a couple pounds of pasta and water.<br /><br />The All-Clad Copper Core Cookware Collection offers unparalleled performance, so you'll feel like an award-winning chef every time you cook. Features a thick copper core, two layers of aluminum, two layers of stainless steel, magnetic stainless steel exterior and a cutout that shows off that lustrous copper. Each piece distributes heat evenly as you cook and maintains a constant temperature as you are adding ingredients. Its construction and materials are perfect for recipes that require maximum precision. The 18/10 stainless steel interior offers a highly polished cooking surface with a starburst finish for superior stick resistance, easy maintenance. All-Clad Copper Core won't react with food, so there's no risk of food picking up a metallic taste.<br /><br />Every All-Clad Copper Core cookware piece is handmade using ultra-durable stainless steel that'll last a lifetime and never go out of style. As versatile as it is beautiful, use this high-quality stainless steel cookware on gas, electric, or induction ranges or even the oven or broiler. The riveted stainless steel handles are contoured for a comfortable grip and vented to stay cool. To keep your All-Clad Copper Core looking brand new, wash with soap and a sponge instead of the dishwasher. The All-Clad Copper Core Cookware Collection is handmade in the USA at the Canonsburg, Pennsylvania factory.
