I love my Alva Chef Skillet! It’s a fabulous 5.4 Qt. skillet that is designed with a three-layer encapsulated aluminum base for optimal heat conductivity and distribution. It is equipped with easy-to-grip riveted stainless steel handles and air vent holes in the lid to prevent boiling over and rattling. Inner capacity markings simplify measuring and a rounded rim makes for frictionless pouring. Oven safe. Dishwasher safe. Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic and halogen, and induction heat source
