The satin finish interior and exterior of our 3004 aluminum alloy sauce pots provides luster and contributes to thermal conductivity. This is especially important for the simmering of sauces when longer cooking time is required. All Eagle-ware saucepots have extra heavy-duty plated handles and easy-to-clean beadless rims, which do not trap food particles. All pots are available with .080" (2 mm) thick aluminum covers with formed handles.
