My wife gave it to me after it dropped and chipped the enamel. White Chantel 3 qt.

I used to work in a place where we assembled turbomachinery, and heated press fit was fairly common. We'd put the outer piece in an oven at 400 degrees, the inner piece in a dry-ice bath and wear big welding gloves to fit it together by hand. But if you messed up - what a mess. Hot and cold metal can come to near thermal equlibrium in seconds, and if it wasn't lined up right you practially had to throw it away and start again because once it stuck, it stuck forever.
