Korkmaz Ornella 8.5-Quart Aluminum Sauce Pan with Cover – Family-Size Black Granite-Look Cooking Pot
Cook for the whole family — and the leftovers — with the Korkmaz Ornella 8.5-Quart Aluminum Sauce Pan with Cover. Designed in Turkey by the heritage Korkmaz cookware brand, this large-capacity pan combines lightweight forged aluminum, a multi-layer non-stick interior with a black granite-look finish, and a tempered glass lid with a steam vent — a do-everything pot for soups, stews, pasta, sauces, rice, chili, and family favorites.
The 8.5-quart capacity is perfect for batch cooking, meal prep, holiday hosting, and one-pot family dinners. The wide profile and high sidewalls give you room to stir, simmer, and reduce without splatter, while the long ergonomic handles stay cool to the touch on the cooktop.

Key Features
- Large 8.5-Quart Capacity: Cook a whole batch of chili, double pot of pasta, big-batch chicken soup, or a holiday-size mashed potato — fewer pots, fewer dishes.
- Multi-Layer Non-Stick Granite-Look Interior: Premium PFOA-free non-stick coating releases food easily, browns evenly, and wipes clean with a soft sponge — no scrubbing, no soaking.
- Forged Aluminum Body: Distributes heat fast and evenly while remaining lightweight enough to lift a full pot of pasta water without strain.
- Tempered Glass Lid with Steam Vent: See your simmer at a glance and let steam escape gradually to prevent boil-overs — no need to lift the lid mid-cook.
- Stay-Cool Long Handles: Riveted, ergonomic handles stay manageable on the stovetop and provide a secure grip when transferring to the table or sink.
- Compatible With Gas, Electric & Ceramic Cooktops: Versatile across most home cooktops (verify induction compatibility on your unit).
- Sleek Black Granite Aesthetic: A modern, professional matte finish that hides minor cosmetic marks and looks great straight from stove to table.

Care & Cleaning
- Hand-wash recommended with mild dish soap and a soft sponge to extend the life of the non-stick coating. Avoid harsh detergents and dishwasher cycles.
- Use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils only. Metal utensils may scratch the non-stick surface.
- Use low to medium heat for most cooking — high heat is rarely necessary on quality non-stick.
- Allow the pan to cool naturally before washing; never plunge a hot pan into cold water (thermal shock).
- Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, which leave a sticky residue on non-stick coatings over time.
