Know before you buy
Yes, the pot features an optimized stainless-steel base specifically designed to be compatible with all stovetops, including induction.
The pot itself is oven safe up to 500°F, but the tempered glass lid is only heat-resistant up to 350°F. If you are cooking at higher temperatures, you will need to remove the lid.
While the PTFE nonstick is durable, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to maintain the integrity of the coating and extend the life of the pan.
Yes, this model is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is generally recommended to preserve the nonstick surface for as long as possible.
Hard anodized aluminum provides excellent heat conductivity and is significantly more durable than standard aluminum. When paired with the stainless-steel base, it offers superior warp resistance and consistent, even heating.
