Mauviel cookware has been used in the world's greatest kitchens – from top restaurants and hotels to cooking schools – since 1830. Designed for perfectly uniform heating with superior temperature control, the company's MElite B collection is handcrafted in France of five-ply stainless steel with a polished hand-hammered exterior. The domed stainless-steel lids help circulate heat and lock in moisture. The angled riveted handles are expertly made of solid brass and ergonomically shaped for comfort and control. Combining the functionality of a braiser and an Asian wok, this versatile pan is ideal for everything from stir-fries and soups to braises and stews.
