FAQs
Is this stockpot dishwasher safe?
While many stainless steel pots are dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and structural integrity of the multi-ply construction.
Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
Yes, this stockpot is designed to be compatible with multiple stovetop types, including induction.
What is the primary material of the pot?
The pot features a multi-ply construction, which typically involves layers of stainless steel and conductive cores for better heat performance.
Is the lid heat resistant?
The included glass lid is designed for standard stovetop cooking temperatures but should be handled with care and oven mitts.
How do I remove stubborn food stains?
Soak the pot in warm, soapy water, or use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to gently scrub away residue.
Troubleshooting
Food is burning at the bottom.
Reduce the heat level and ensure that you are stirring the bottom of the pot frequently during long simmers.
The lid seems stuck after cooking.
Wait for the pot to cool slightly, which will release the vacuum seal created by cooling steam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your OMS stockpot, wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use. While the pot is compatible with most stovetops, ensure the base is clean and centered on the heating element to optimize efficiency. Avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the interior surface, opting instead for silicone or wooden tools. After cooking, allow the pot to cool down naturally before submersing it in cold water to prevent thermal shock, which can warp the metal. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain the finish.
