1826 Stainless Steel Stewpot with Glass Lid by Cristel

The 1826® Stewpot is a lidded, two-handled stainless-steel vessel available from 1.5 to 4.5 quarts. Its conical profile echoes the collection’s historical reference while allowing more compact storage, and its 3-ply thermodiffusing induction base supports even stovetop cooking. A rounded borosilicate glass lid retains moisture while keeping the contents visible and can go into the oven to 400°F.

“A small lidded pot is one of those pieces that quietly earns its keep: beans, grains, vegetables, a stew for two, something slowly reheated for supper. I like the glass lid here because it lets you watch the cooking without disturbing it, and the two side handles make the vessel easy to bring to the table.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
