We use Krona cookware in our test kitchen and at home. It has the best, most even heat conductivity of any cookware we have used. (Set your heat lower than what you are used tothese pans heat up super fast.) And we love the features. The Krona line of cookware is made with the finest quality stainless steel with a superior cladding technology. The tri-ply encapsulated cladding ensures superb heat conductivity for rapid, even cooking. Its unique construction sandwiches a layer of aluminum between two layers of stainless steel. * Attractive, rugged construction with an attractive mirror finish. These are beautiful pans that will last a lifetime. * Tri-ply encapsulated cladding disperses heat quickly and evenly. No more hot spots. Near "instant heat". * Large "stay cool" handles for easy and safe handling of hot foods without using hot pads. * Convenient, attractive pour spouts for no mess serving without spoons or ladles. * See through glass lids. See how your food is doing without lifting the lid and disrupting the cooking. * Three-way lids can be closed to seal in freshness and vitamins, set to a small sieve for steaming and straining smaller particles, and a large sieve for draining pastas and vegetables without the use of colanders and without burning yourself. Cook foods evenly and accurately. Make pasta and drain the water off without a colander and without burning yourself. See when your broccoli is cooked without lifting the lid. Cook cream soups and strain them when serving through the small sieve. Cook a roast in the oven on either dry roast or steam. You're going to love these pans.
