Contemporary Stainless is for home chefs who place as much importance on cookware style as they do on performance. The sleek, modern vessels in this line have curvaceous and smooth flared tulip shapes that create a stunning presence while heating on a stovetop or hanging from a pot rack. The brushed steel exteriors are a beautiful complement to professional stainless-steel appliances and are less likely to show baked-on grease or wear than a polished finish can. Gracefully curved stainless-steel handles are comfortable to clutch and are forked in a half-moon shape at the riveted base to prevent heat from transferring down the shaft. Heating in this pan is sure to satisfy the performance requirements of discerning cooks. The 13-inch round wok boasts triple-layer construction with stainless-steel exteriors bonded over a full aluminum core that extends up the sides as well as through the bottom. Aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, providing consistent cooking over high heat for crisp stir-fried snow peas, Chinese-restaurant-quality fried rice, or seared pot stickers. A flat bottom on this wok keeps it steadily balanced over a flame and allows better movement and tossing over a burner. The stainless-steel surfaces are safe in the oven and can withstand broiler temperatures as well as the use of metal utensils. All Contemporary Stainless is dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde From the Manufacturer As the kitchen becomes the social center of more and more American homes, consumers are focusing greater attention on the details of kitchen design.
