You can cook a great meal with any pot. But then there are those that add that extra touch of joy to your daily cooking routine. The affinity line from deBuyer belongs to this category. 

This pot is made from a 5 ply layer of stainless steel and aluminium. Aluminium conducts heat way better that stainless steel. That is why the inner layer is made from aluminium. The stainless steel outer layer ensures food safety and the ability to use the pot on a conduction stove. Many pots have an aluminium core in the base for rapid heating, but on these deBuyer pots the aluminium layer goes all up on the walls, which makes them spread heat more evenly and even faster. 

Additionally this pot has a measuring scale on the inside and pouring rims sized in accordance with professional culinary standards.

The handle design guarantees low temperatures and is bolted to the pot. This construction will last for many decades of cooking. 

Pots from deBuyer are made locally in France.
