Cuisinart’s Contour collection is a new generation of cookware inspired by classic European designs. It’s more than just beautiful; it also delivers superior performance and is easier to use than ever before. The contoured shape of the handles makes this stockpot easy to grip, while the stay-cool stainless steel keeps your hands comfortable even on the hottest days. The hard-anodized construction heats quickly and distributes heat evenly for fast cooking.
