Know before you buy
The thick base is engineered to distribute heat evenly across the entire cooking surface. This prevents hot spots and ensures your food cooks consistently, which is essential for traditional recipes like rice, stews, and braised meats.
Yes, the interior features a corrosion-resistant nonstick coating designed to withstand regular home cooking. While it simplifies cleanup significantly, we recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the integrity of the surface over time.
The 3.7-quart capacity is ideal for medium-sized meals, typically serving 3 to 4 people. It is a versatile size for daily family dinners, side dishes, or smaller batches of soups and beans.
This caldero is crafted from aluminum, which is not naturally magnetic. Unless your induction cooktop is specifically compatible with aluminum cookware, it will not work on an induction surface.
The IMUSA Original Caldero is designed as a traditional open-style pot. Please check your specific package contents, as this model is typically sold as the pot itself to accommodate the traditional cooking methods used for rice and stews.
