Hestan ProBond Forged Stainless-Steel Essential Pan, 5QT

We dare you to find something you can’t cook up in this wonder. Handcrafted in Italy, it’s got a wide, high-sided shape that lets it simmer pasta, prep soups and stews, and whiz through all kinds of casseroles. And wait till you hear what it’s built from: It’s cold-forged, triple-bonded stainless steel, with a layer of aluminum inside for quick and even heating. The thick bottom, thinner sides, and flared rim make it lightweight yet sturdy (it can even pour sauces out without a drip in sight). Oh, and thanks to the flush rivets, you’re looking at your easiest-ever cleanup.
