We developed our Thermo-Clad™ cookware drawing on over five decades of culinary experience, designing every element to ensure years of great results in your kitchen. Available only at Williams Sonoma, Thermo-Clad is handcrafted in Italy to our precise specifications using an exclusive aluminum alloy that provides superior conductivity. The brushed stainless-steel exterior adds classic beauty to the stovetop. Count on the set to steam vegetables, seafood or dumplings to perfection – or remove the insert and use the pot on its own for everything from simmering soups and stews to braising meat and poultry. Designed and developed by Williams Sonoma, and exclusively ours. Thermo-Clad™ technology ensures efficient, uniform heating with precise temperature control and no hot spots. Pot is made of an exclusive aluminum-alloy core with a gorgeous brushed stainless-steel exterior. Insert is made of nonreactive 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish.
