ZWILLING TruClad's robust 3-ply clad construction bonds 3 individual materials together to create a vessel of exceptional cooking performance: the interior is 18/10 stainless steel for optimal resistance to stains with no taste transfer, a core of pure aluminum ensures quick and even heat distribution to ensure balanced cooking without fear of hot-spots and the outside is a magnetic chromium steel enabling superb performance with the latest induction cook-tops. The sculpted hollow-cast handle with a "V-shaped" riveted connection stays cool for enhanced safety and less elbow strain.
