Key specifications

How to use

Before the first use, wash the stockpot with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Place the pot on a stovetop burner that matches the diameter of the base to ensure optimal heat efficiency. Add your ingredients and liquid, then cover with the tempered glass lid to trap heat and moisture. Adjust the heat setting as necessary during the cooking process. Always use oven mitts when handling the pot while it is hot, as the handles may conduct heat.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your stovetop has a burner large enough to accommodate the 26 cm base.
• Check your cupboard or drawer dimensions to ensure you have adequate storage space for an 11.5L pot.
• Verify compatibility with your specific stovetop type, such as induction, gas, or electric.

Usage recommendations

To maintain the mirror finish and longevity of your stainless steel stockpot, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners. Allow the pot to cool down naturally before submerging it in cold water to prevent thermal shock.
