Know before you buy

Yes, the pot is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs. Its 21-ply construction with a copper core ensures efficient heat conduction across any heat source.
The included insert is designed to fit the 12-quart capacity of the pot, making it ideal for boiling large batches of pasta or steaming vegetables. It allows you to lift your food directly out of the water, simplifying the straining process.
