Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the bottom.
Ensure sufficient liquid is used for boiling or braising. Stir food regularly, especially when cooking at high heat. Allow the pot to soak in warm, soapy water if residue remains after cooking.
Uneven heating.
Verify that the stovetop burner is adequately sized for the base of the pot and that the heat is distributed evenly. Ensure the pot is placed correctly on the hob.
Lid handle becoming loose.
Check if the screw holding the handle is tightened. If loose, use a screwdriver to secure it. If it remains loose or damaged, contact customer support.
Discoloration on the interior.
This can be normal for stainless steel and is often due to mineral deposits or overheating. It can usually be removed by soaking with a mild vinegar solution and then washing as normal.
