Paderno Italian Deep Roasting Pan

Paderno started in Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1979 with a vision of making cookware so good it would outlast anything in the kitchen. Since those early beginnings, the Pots for Eternity have become famous across Canada and into the United States. Now, as they celebrate their 31st anniversary in business, not only has that vision of excellent performance and outstanding durability been the guiding light in making them Canada's only cookware manufacturer, it has helped them develop an ever widening range of kitchen products that continue to meet that standard.

The Making of a Paderno Pot

In Prince Edward Island, people like to take their time with things. They take time walking along the beautiful beaches. They take time to talk and get to know everybody they meet. And Paderno really likes to take time with making their cookware. That's why they guarantee their product for 26 years. They wanted to prove to you just how much time they do put into making each piece of cookware, so they're pleased to take you through the steps of making the world's best cookware.

STEP 1
Paderno cookware starts as a sheet of top quality 304 stainless steel. They cut the sheet into squares and then trim them into circles. These circles are then pressed into the shape of the pot.

STEP 2
They carefully trim the excess material from the pot and sand down all sharp edges. This provides the perfected no drip lip and gives Paderno cookware its smooth, elegant edges.

STEP 3
Through a special bonding process they apply a prepared aluminum disc to the bottom of the pot. This is what gives the fast, even heat conduction of every piece of Paderno. Without this you wouldn't be so hot on Paderno pots.

STEP 4
Paderno takes particular pride in the polishing of their cookware. Each pot must pass through 5 polishing stations to give it that mirror-like finish. Paderno handles alone take 4-6 hours just to polish!

STEP 5
Next, they weld our handles to the cooking vessel. This top of the line spot weld is second to none. This process is what keeps your handle from falling off for at least 25 years.

STEP 6
Once the pot is completed Paderno puts it through their large wash plant to clean all dirt particles from the stainless steel.

STEP 7
They then take one final inspection by our quality control department prior to packaging.

After all of this, Paderno has one perfect pot for you!
