Know before you buy
The 316Ti stainless steel is alloyed with titanium, which provides superior resistance to corrosion and pitting compared to standard 304 stainless steel. This creates a highly durable, non-reactive cooking surface that is ideal for acidic ingredients like tomato-based sauces.
Yes, the pot features a 5-ply fully clad construction with a magnetic stainless steel exterior, making it fully compatible with all induction stovetops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
The handles are designed to dissipate heat efficiently, remaining cool to the touch during standard stovetop cooking. However, if the pot is used inside the oven, the handles will become hot and require the use of oven mitts.
Yes, this stockpot is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is generally recommended to maintain the polished finish of the stainless steel over time.
The 8-quart capacity refers to the volume of the pot body itself, measured to the brim. The lid is designed to fit snugly to trap moisture and heat, but it does not affect the internal liquid capacity.
Absolutely. Because it is oven-safe up to 800°F and features a thick 2.3 mm construction, it handles high-heat searing and long oven braises exceptionally well without warping.
