How to use
Before the first use, wash the pot thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent to remove any manufacturing residues. Place the pot on a burner that matches its base diameter to ensure optimal heat distribution. When cooking, start with medium heat to allow the 5-layer bottom to heat up gradually, then adjust as necessary. Always use wooden or silicone utensils to maintain the interior surface quality. After cooking, allow the pot to cool down naturally before washing to prevent thermal shock.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your stovetop burner size is compatible with the 26 cm base diameter
- Verify that you have sufficient storage space for a pot of this volume
- Consider the weight of the pot when filled with liquid, as it will be heavy
Usage recommendations
To maintain the longevity of the stainless steel surface, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners. If food becomes stuck, soak the pot in warm soapy water before cleaning. Always dry the pot immediately after washing to prevent water spots.
