Know before you buy
Yes, the aluminum core sandwiched between stainless steel layers ensures heat spreads evenly across the base and sides. This design significantly reduces the risk of hot spots that typically cause food to scorch.
Absolutely. The stainless steel exterior is fully compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
While it is not a chemical non-stick coating, the interior features a starburst finish that helps with food release. It is durable and designed to be cleaned easily, though it may require a bit of soaking for stubborn, stuck-on proteins.
Yes, the pot and its stainless steel lid are oven and broiler safe up to 500°F. This makes it ideal for recipes that require searing on the stove followed by a long, slow finish in the oven.
The pot is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is generally recommended to maintain the polished stainless steel finish over time. If you do use the dishwasher, ensure you use a mild detergent to prevent potential water spotting.
The stockpot weighs 6.4 pounds. It is substantial enough to feel stable and professional-grade on the burner, but manageable for most home cooks to lift when full.
