Description
the Milton Hard Anodized Stew Pan (16cm)—often categorized as a small stock pot or deep saucepan within the ProCook range—is a durable and efficient vessel designed for small-scale tasks like simmering stews, making soups, or boiling modest portions of grains.
Key Features
- Superior Hardness: Made from high-quality aluminum that is hard-anodized to be twice as hard as stainless steel, ensuring extreme durability and scratch resistance.
- Thermal Efficiency: Features a heavy-gauge base (typically 3.00 mm to 4.06 mm) that ensures uniform heat dispersion and steady retention, eliminating hot spots that could burn food.
- Non-Reactive Surface: The surface is non-toxic and non-reactive, meaning it will not interact with acidic ingredients like tomatoes or vinegar, preserving the food's natural taste.
- Metal Utensil Friendly: The robust surface allows for the use of metal spoons and spatulas without damaging the finish.
- Riveted Handles: Equipped with sturdy, heat-resistant Bakelite handles designed to stay cool on the stovetop for a firm, safe grip.
