This soup pot isn't just for soup. It’s also great for simmering sauce, boiling pasta, blanching veggies, and stewing. Its tall sides and fitted lid minimize evaporation to keep your soup from reducing too much. As part of our D5 Stainless Collection, this Soup Pot is made with our patented process that bonds 3 layers of stainless steel with 2 layers of aluminum. It distributes heat more evenly and slowly, eliminating hotspots, so your food doesn’t stick or burn. For an added touch of style, it has a timeless brushed finish that adds a bit of texture and refinement to your kitchen and is easier to clean. At 4 quarts, it’s the perfect size for making small batches for the family or enough to meal prep for the week. To keep your All-Clad looking brand new, we recommend washing your cookware with a soap and sponge instead of the dishwasher. Like all our bonded cookware, it's handmade in the USA at our Canonsburg, PA factory with ultra-durable materials that'll last a lifetime and never go out of style. A flat, stainless-steel lid is included to help lock in moisture. Handles & handle loops are made in China.
