Know before you buy
The graphite core provides significantly faster and more uniform heat distribution than standard stainless steel. This technology eliminates hot spots, allowing for more precise temperature control when simmering or sautéing.
Despite its durable 5-ply construction, the G5 Graphite Core series is engineered to be lighter than traditional multi-ply cookware. At 5.8 pounds, it is designed for easier handling and maneuverability, even when filled to its 8-quart capacity.
Yes, the G5 stockpot is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass.
Yes, this pot is oven and broiler safe at temperatures up to 600°F, making it versatile for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
While the stockpot is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish and integrity of the stainless steel over time.
The wide base provides a larger surface area for searing or sautéing ingredients before adding liquids. This makes the pot more versatile than traditional, narrow-bottomed stockpots, as you can brown meats or aromatics directly in the same vessel.
