WHY CONSIDER IT
larger batches in a gas kitchen.
It covers larger batches beyond the 3L and 5L options, with a different body material and format.
THE TRADE-OFF
Keep this in mind.
The large wide body needs storage space and may be excessive for small portions. Induction compatibility is not confirmed for CL8W.
