Know before you buy
Yes, the Induction 21 Steel line is crafted from high-quality, nickel-free Japanese steel. This makes it an excellent choice for those with nickel sensitivities who want to avoid leaching during the cooking process.
Absolutely. The pot is specifically engineered for induction compatibility, though it also performs exceptionally well on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
The cast copper core is sandwiched within the steel construction to provide rapid and even heat distribution. This helps eliminate hot spots, ensuring your sauces and stews cook consistently across the entire base.
Yes, the pot is oven-safe up to 425°F. This allows you to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven, though you should ensure your oven rack can accommodate the 9-inch height.
The rim is designed with a slight flare that helps direct liquids downward rather than letting them run down the side of the pot. It is highly effective at keeping your stovetop and countertops cleaner when pouring out large batches of soup or pasta water.
Yes, the construction is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the finish and longevity of the steel over time, hand washing with mild soap is often recommended.
