MONTREUX Panela 9.0 L · Ø 24 cm

The wide 24 cm base distributes heat so evenly that I can finally make a decent batch of risotto without scorching. It’s heavy but not unwieldy, and the 9-liter capacity handles a big family stew with room to spare.

Cooked a whole chicken in this pot last night, the 9-liter size barely fit but the heat distribution was so even that the meat came out perfectly juicy. The handles stay cool enough to grab without a mitt, which is a nice safety touch. Definitely a solid upgrade from my old set.

The lid seals so tightly that almost no steam escapes, so my soup cooked noticeably faster than usual. It distributes heat evenly, and the handles stay cool enough to grab without a towel. Exactly what I needed for big batch cooking.
