Anolon Nouvelle Copper Stainless Steel Chef Casserole

Not only is this little beauty an awesome bang for your buck (at $79.99), it rocks for soups, stews, braising meat, or making a colorful pasta dishes.  This sheik piece can be taken right from the stovetop to table which makes for less dishes. Score! The double full cap base (a layer of copper, encapsulated with aluminum, followed by stainless steel) makes for great heat conductivity and excellent cooking performance.
