Overview
Norpro builds the KRONA as a three-piece set of boiler, steamer and vented tempered glass lid, all in stainless steel. The base is tri-ply, with an aluminum core between two stainless layers, and the top pan has a stay-cool helper handle.
Slow, even heat from the top pan helps avoid scorching delicate mixtures, and the see-through lid allows a look without lifting it. Capacity is small, and cleaning is by hand.
Who it's for
Home bakers and candy makers who melt small batches and heat sauces slowly over water. Cooks preparing food for a crowd, or who rely on a dishwasher, should choose a bigger or easier-care set.
Pros and cons
- Tri-ply base with aluminum core
- Works on induction, electric and gas
- Vented glass lid shows contents
- Helper handle gives a firmer grip
- Hand washing recommended
- Weight listed unreliably
Performance notes
Simmering water in the lower pot sends gentle heat up into the top pan, which melts caramel, chocolate, custard and sauces slowly and evenly. The aluminum core in the base spreads burner heat across the bottom. A vent in the glass lid lets steam escape, which helps the glass stay clear for viewing.
