Made in Portugal since 1951, Silampos pans anticipate the needs of home cooks. These casseroles are clad, from base to rim, with three layers of metal: non-reactive and induction-compatible stainless steel on the outside with a core of heat-responsive aluminium. This construction heats food uniformly and retains that heat well. The stainless steel is polished…
