Hard Anodized with Stainless (aka Hard Stainless) cookware combines the heat distribution and control from aluminum that chefs want, with a non-reactive, surgical stainless steel cooking surface.

5-ply construction consists of a 18/8 non-reactive surgical grade stainless steel interior, 3-layer aluminum alloy core for even heat transfer throughout the pan and an induction capable hard anodized aluminum exterior base. The signature Viking riveted handle design features a built-in finger guide for easy lifting and pouring. The non-reactive stainless steel cooking surface won't react with food. Hard anodized aluminum exterior is twice as strong as stainless steel, giving the professional and home cook the durability to last a lifetime.

It's great for the enthusiast who appreciated quality and long-lasting durability. For anyone looking for the best in heat performance with stainless steel cookware, look for Viking Hard Stainless Cookware.
