This attractive skillet roasts, fries, grills, stews, bakes, makes casseroles and more. The big 16inch base and high sidewalls provide for extra cooking and serving capacity. A luxurious styling and tempered glass cover enable it to double as a buffet server when entertaining. The heavy cast aluminum base is virtually warpproof. It saves energy because it is more efficient than using a range burner or oven. Fully immersible and dishwasher safe with the heat control removed, and a deluxe nonstick surface, on the inside and out.
