Know before you buy
Yes, the Kaico Pasta Pan is compatible with induction, gas, and electric cooktops thanks to its iron-core construction.
The removable inner colander sits inside the pot, allowing you to lift your pasta directly out of the boiling water. This eliminates the need for a separate colander and makes draining quick and mess-free.
The high-quality enamel coating is designed to be stain-resistant and durable. While it is very smooth and easy to clean, we recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to maintain the finish over time.
Absolutely. With a 6-quart capacity, it is well-suited for simmering stews, curries, and large batches of soup stock. The iron core provides excellent heat conduction for these longer cooking processes.
The beechwood knob should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and dried immediately. It is not dishwasher safe, and you should avoid soaking it in water to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
While the enamel-coated iron body is durable, we recommend hand washing the pot to preserve the integrity of the beechwood knob and the luster of the enamel finish.
