Know before you buy
Yes, the carbon steel construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen heat sources.
No, this stockpot must be hand washed. The enamel finish is durable, but abrasive dishwasher detergents and high-heat cycles can damage the exterior over time.
Because it is crafted from carbon steel rather than cast iron, this pot is significantly lighter and easier to maneuver, even when filled with ingredients.
No, the porcelain enamel is nonporous and non-reactive, meaning it will not absorb odors or flavors, ensuring your next dish tastes fresh.
This size is ideal for smaller tasks like boiling pasta for two, cooking grains, preparing side dishes, or reheating soups and sauces.
The 5-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as overheating or improper cleaning.
