Know before you buy
Tri-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pot, which helps prevent hot spots and scorching when simmering soups or stews.
Yes, this pot is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass surfaces.
Absolutely. The pot is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), making it a great choice for recipes that require browning on the stove followed by a long, slow finish in the oven.
The handles are securely riveted to the body of the pot. Riveted handles are generally more durable and stable than welded or screwed-on alternatives, providing a safer grip when lifting heavy, full pots.
Yes, this pot is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the finish and prevent potential water spots, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is often recommended by culinary professionals.
NSF certification means the product meets rigorous standards for public health protection and material safety. While it is a requirement for professional kitchens, it serves as a quality assurance for home cooks that the materials are durable and food-safe.
