KitchenAid's three-ply cookware offers professional results with a fresh dose of color. Finished on the exterior in a soft shade of purple, the stainless steel casserole dish is designed with an extra-thick aluminum core to evenly distribute heat from edge to edge. A ceramic non-stick coating releases foods easily, and dual riveted handles provide a sturdy grip. Etched markings on the interior help with measuring, and a tempered glass lid locks in heat and flavor.
