Its key benefit is rapid, even heating due to recycled aluminum construction and a superior non-stick surface, making cooking and cleanup easier.

FAQs
Is the Salter Alto Stock Pot dishwasher safe?
While the pot is designed for durability, hand-washing is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity and lifespan of the ILAG non-stick coating. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and may degrade the surface over time.
What material is the stockpot made from?
The stockpot is crafted from high-quality, durable recycled pressed aluminum.
Can I use metal utensils with this pot?
It is best to avoid metal utensils. Although the ILAG non-stick surface is scratch-resistant, using wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils will help maintain its performance and appearance for longer.
Does the 10-year guarantee cover the non-stick coating?
The 10-year guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and performance issues related to the materials and construction. It generally does not cover cosmetic damage, wear and tear from improper use (like using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning), or normal degradation of the non-stick coating over extended periods.
How do I clean the tempered glass lid?
The tempered glass lid can be washed with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Ensure the steam vent is clear of debris.
Is the stockpot oven-safe?
No, this Salter Alto Stock Pot is not designed for use in the oven. It is intended for stovetop cooking only.
What are PFOA and PFAS?
PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are man-made chemicals that have historically been used in non-stick coatings. This Salter pot is free from these substances, offering a healthier cooking experience.
Troubleshooting
Food sticks to the surface.
Ensure the pot is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or fat. If food still sticks, the non-stick coating may be compromised; consider gentle cleaning or contacting customer service.
Pot rocks on the hob or doesn't heat on induction.
Check that the hob and the pot's base are clean and free from debris. Ensure the pot is centered on the induction zone. If using an induction hob, confirm it is compatible and the pot is making proper contact.
Handles feel loose.
Periodically check that the handle fixings are secure. If they become loose, carefully tighten the screws with an appropriate screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Lid doesn't fit snugly.
Ensure the lid is correctly seated on the rim of the pot. Minor variations in fit are normal; the steam vent helps manage pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Salter Alto Stock Pot is ready for immediate use. Before the first cooking, wash the pot and lid with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Ensure the hob surface is clean and compatible with the pot's base.
Compatibility: This stockpot is suitable for all hob types, including electric, gas, ceramic, halogen, and most importantly, induction hobs.
Care:
- Washing: For optimal longevity of the non-stick coating, hand-washing is recommended. Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, which can damage the non-stick surface.
- Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils. Metal utensils can scratch the ILAG non-stick coating, even though it is designed to be scratch-resistant.
- Heating: Avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pot under cold water) as this can warp the aluminum. Allow the pot to cool before washing.
- Oven Use: This stockpot is not designed for oven use. Check product specifications for any limitations.
