• 3-1/2-quart Dutch oven bakes in oven or cooks on stovetop

A wide, deep pot, this 3-1/2-quart covered Dutch oven is ideal for braising meats on the stovetop, then transferring to oven baking. Lifting the pot when it's full of chili or stew is facilitated by two strongly riveted square handles; a third tops the stainless-steel lid. Clad in gleaming stainless steel, the Dutch oven is constructed with an inner core of aluminum across the bottom and up the sides for even, efficient cooking at low to medium temperatures. Whisks, spoons, and cleaning brushes all glide smoothly along the curved inner contour of the pot, and the lid fits snugly on the flared, easy-pour rim.

J.A. Henckels International, the economical division of Zwilling J.A. Henckels, makes the stylish and durable Classic Clad series for serious home cooks. As well as being oven- and broiler-safe up to 500 degrees F, each pot or pan features a brightly polished magnetic stainless-steel exterior safe for all types of stovetop burners: gas, electric, ceramic, induction, and halogen. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior resists sticking, won't react to acidic foods, and welcomes metal utensils. Henckels recommends washing Classic Clad pieces by hand to retain the mirror finish, and covers the cookware with a lifetime warranty against defects. Except for the frying pans, each pot shows liter and quart markings, and every piece comes wrapped in a soft, drawstring gift/storage bag. --Ann Bieri
