The Viking Hard Anodized Nonstick Saucepan is the perfect sized pan for heating milk, making small reductions and finishing sauces. Experience even heat and exceptional release with Viking Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware. Constructed with heavy gauge anodized aluminum for durability and even heat distribution throughout the sides and bottom of the pan. Accepted worldwide as one of the most conductive metals for cooking, the aluminum is strengthened through the anodizing process until it is twice as hard as stainless steel. Coated with three layers of durable nonstick coating to ensure maximum release and longevity, even when using metal utensils. The multi-layer coating improves release and protection even if the top layer is scratched over time. Designed with ergonomics in mind, Viking signature handles are hand crafted from cast stainless steel and riveted to the pan for a lifetime of durability. Features internal volume markings in quarts and liters for accurate addition and reduction of ingredients. Viking Hard Anodized Nonstick cookware is dishwasher safe and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
