Many consumers believe that if a pan is heavy it is good. It's not the weight that determines the quality or performance of the pan, it is how quickly the pan heats up, how well it holds the heat and how well it distributes the heat.
Most name brand products on the market have layers of heat conducting alloys on the bottom of the pan ONLY. This means you have to constantly stir your food. Often people become frustrated with traditionally pots and pans because they stick and burn at the bottom where the heat source is. Saladmasters cooking vessel is designed with a super thermo-core which is a perfect marriage of metals that distributes the heat 360 degrees. This provides for completely even heat which allows your food to cook faster at lower temperatures, without the need of stirring. The outer layer is a 400 series stainless steel which is necessary to perform on the new magnetic induction stoves.
