Know before you buy
The inner pot is versatile and compatible with gas, electric, and induction stovetops, allowing you to bring your ingredients to a boil before placing the pot into the vacuum-insulated outer jacket.
Once the pot is placed in the outer jacket, the vacuum insulation maintains a steady, gentle heat that continues the cooking process without the intense, direct heat of a stovetop. This prevents food from becoming mushy or overcooked while allowing flavors to develop.
The 3-layer structure, which includes a layer of carbide steel, provides excellent heat distribution and durability. This construction ensures the pot heats evenly on the stove and retains that heat effectively once transferred to the thermal jacket.
The 1.5-liter capacity is ideal for preparing side dishes, soups, or single-to-double servings of grains. It is best suited for smaller households or those looking to cook compact, efficient meals.
The stainless steel inner pot is straightforward to clean, though you should avoid using harsh abrasives to maintain the finish. The outer vacuum jacket should simply be wiped down with a damp cloth; it should never be submerged in water.
