How to use
Before the first use, wash the pot with warm water and mild detergent to remove any manufacturing residues. Place the pot on a burner that matches its base diameter to ensure optimal heat distribution. Add your ingredients and liquid, then cover with the lid to speed up the boiling process. Adjust the heat level as needed to maintain a steady simmer. Always use oven mitts when handling the pot while hot, as the handles may conduct heat during extended cooking sessions.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the 20cm diameter fits your primary cooking zones
- Verify that the 3.5-liter capacity meets your typical meal portion requirements
- Check if your dishwasher detergent is compatible with stainless steel if you prefer machine washing
Usage recommendations
To maintain the longevity of the stainless steel surface, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals. Allow the pot to cool down naturally before submerging it in cold water to prevent thermal shock and potential warping of the base.
