The stainless steel sealing cap of Le Creuset's 3-PLY series consists of three layers. The pot has an aluminum core enclosed in two layers of stainless steel, which creates optimal conditions for efficient heat conduction. The unique design with the 3 distinctive rings in the lid matches Le Creuset's iconic cast iron pots, and details such as drip-free edge and internal capacity markings make the pot very user-friendly. The 3-PLY pot can handle machine dishes, all types of cookers including induction hobs and up to 260 ° C in the oven.
