Granite Ware Clam and Lobster Steamer with Faucet Set, 19-Quart, 3-Piece, Black

Whether it's steaming seafood, lobster boil or a shore dinner, Granite Ware specialty seafood pots are unique, multi-functional and perfect for the job. Made in the USA, the large capacity of the 19-Quart Clam and Lobster Steamer is designed to accommodate large gatherings and produce outstanding results. The faucet helps drain off steamy liquids without getting burned. Porcelain is fused to the steel at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit producing a non-porous, inert glass surface that is naturally non-stick. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won't burn and resists staining. It's also non -porous so it won't trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel. Porcelain can chip if dropped, however this does not reduce the effectiveness of the cookware. Not recommended for glass cooktops.
