Know before you buy
While the 3-ply construction adds a bit more weight compared to single-ply pots, it is designed to provide stability and even heat distribution without being overly cumbersome. The stainless steel handles are balanced to help you maneuver the pot comfortably, even when filled.
Yes, this pot is fully compatible with induction cooktops. The stainless steel base is designed to react efficiently with induction elements for quick and consistent heating.
The stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, if you are using the pot for a long simmer or on a high-heat setting, it is always a good practice to use an oven mitt as a precaution.
The lid is designed for stovetop monitoring and is made of glass. While it is durable, it is not recommended for high-heat oven use; we suggest using the pot on the stovetop for soups, stews, and stocks as intended.
A 7-quart capacity is ideal for large batches, but you should leave about an inch or two of headspace at the top to prevent boiling over. This size is perfect for a standard batch of soup or stock that serves 6 to 8 people.
