For the Sides

Matfer calls this pot a casserole: a two-handled pot of medium height, sized at 5 3/4 quarts for soups, stews, chili and braised beans for a family.The aluminum sandwich base keeps thick stews from catching on the bottom, and the welded handles leave no rivets inside the pot. The matching lid is the 24 cm Excellence lid, and the Excellence steamer insert fits it for steaming vegetables or dumplings.
A Pot for Everyday Soup and StewFive and three-quarter quarts holds soup or chili for four to six, with room left at the top to stir without spilling. The pot’s width means vegetables can be sweated in a single layer before the liquid goes in, which gives a deeper flavor than piling them into a narrow pot. Add the Excellence steamer insert and it becomes a steamer for dumplings, tamales or vegetables. Learn More
