Affinity is a 7 layer stainless steel cookware. Thanks to its 3 outer layers (stainless steel, magnetic stainless, and stainless) the material is ultra-reactive. The Affinity line preheats and heats quickly and the cooking stops instantaneously when the heat source is stopped. Thanks to the 3 inner layers made of aluminum, the cooking is homogenous. The pan has excellent heat distribution and is cooked uniformly without overheating the bottom of the pan. Essential for the taste and flavors of your meals.
Heavy Cast Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner
This heavy-duty pressure cooker's large capacity is probably best utilized for canning (though it would also be great for a number of cooking tasks). A pressure cooker is generally recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, since the high heat that can be generated will kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath. Made from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the pot, this pressure cooker requires no rubber or plastic gaskets or rings. Its 21-1/2-quart capacity holds 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars. A three-setting pressure regulator valve is included, and the pressure gauge gives a clear reading. Made in Wisconsin, this is an American classic. --Julija Gelazis
