Multilayer floor
A multi-layer base or sandwich base is a pot base that consists of several different layers. Since, for example, rust-free stainless steel conducts less heat than aluminum , the multilayer floor usually consists of a thin layer of stainless steel, a thicker layer of aluminum and, in turn, a thin layer of stainless steel. If the sides of a sandwich base are not open, but are also coated with additional stainless steel, it is called a capsule base.
Since stainless steel is non-magnetic, sandwich floors are more suitable for induction if they are provided with a sheet metal insert made of unalloyed steel. Because the induction field is then not bundled on the pot.
