Know before you buy
No, the natural wood handle is not oven-safe. You should remove the lid or handle before placing the pot inside an oven.
The full capacity of 1500ml represents the total volume when filled to the brim. The optimal capacity of 1000ml is the recommended amount for cooking to prevent boiling over and ensure even heat distribution.
Yes, the KAKOMI pot is highly versatile and compatible with induction heaters (100V and 200V), direct fire, halogen heaters, and ceramic hobs.
While the enamel coating is durable, it is best to use silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the finish. Avoid using metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners when washing to keep the surface smooth.
The stainless steel pot body is dishwasher safe. However, the lid features a natural wood handle, so we recommend hand-washing the lid to preserve the quality of the wood.
