Know before you buy
Yes, the All-Clad HA1 soup pot features a bonded stainless steel base that makes it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
The pot itself is oven-safe up to 500°F. However, please note that the included tempered glass lid is only oven-safe up to 350°F.
To preserve the longevity of the nonstick surface, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils. Avoid using metal tools, which can scratch or damage the coating over time.
While the pot is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and mild soap to maintain the integrity of the nonstick coating and ensure it lasts longer.
Hard-anodizing creates a surface that is exceptionally durable and resistant to warping. It provides a sturdy exterior that stands up to daily wear while ensuring the aluminum core heats evenly and efficiently.
A 4-quart pot is ideal for preparing soups, stews, or sauces for 2 to 4 people. It is a versatile size that is large enough for a standard family meal but compact enough for easy storage.
