Know before you buy
Yes, the Induction 21 Steel Stockpot is specifically engineered for induction efficiency. Its copper core and magnetic steel construction ensure rapid, even heat distribution on all induction surfaces, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.
This pot is crafted from high-quality Japanese steel that excludes nickel, making it a safer choice for individuals with nickel sensitivities. It provides the durability and performance of professional-grade cookware without the presence of common metal allergens.
Yes, the pot is oven-safe up to 425°F. Please note that while the pot itself is oven-ready, you should handle it with care when removing it, as the helper handles will become hot.
The tempered-glass lid is designed to withstand standard stovetop temperatures and allows you to monitor your food without lifting the lid and losing heat. However, it is generally recommended to avoid extreme thermal shock, such as moving it directly from a hot burner into cold water.
The stockpot weighs approximately 8.0 pounds. While it is substantial due to its copper core and titanium-infused steel, the included helper handles are designed to make it easier to transport, even when the pot is filled.
Yes, this stockpot is dishwasher safe. For the best long-term results and to maintain the finish of the steel, hand washing with mild soap is often recommended, but the construction is robust enough to handle regular dishwasher cycles.
