Heavier than others?型号 depends on what you need. I have a 12qt for making 老火汤, a 6qt saute pan for stirfry, also a 4qt, a 2 qt saucepan and a 4 qt round oven pan for other purposes. But the 4qt round oven pan is being replaced by a LC version.AllClad water kettle also works much better than other stainless water Kettles I used to have.
