Designed by Jasper Morrison, this piece excels at even heat distribution and professional-grade performance for tasks like heating milk, melting butter, or preparing sauces.

FAQs
Is this milk boiler induction compatible?
The AJM302 is primarily designed with an aluminium base for heat distribution; check your specific stovetop's magnet compatibility for the base.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
While technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to prevent the exterior mirror-polished finish from dulling over time.
What is the total capacity of the AJM302?
The boiler has a total capacity of approximately 1.9 litres.
Does it come with a lid?
No, this specific model (AJM302) is supplied without a lid.
Is the handle heat resistant?
The handle is designed for kitchen use, but it may become hot if left over an open flame for extended periods. Always use a kitchen towel or oven mitt.
What does 18/10 stainless steel mean?
This refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, which provides superior rust protection and a high-lustre finish.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration or rainbow-like stains on the interior.
This is often caused by mineral deposits or overheating; clean with a mixture of water and vinegar to restore the shine.
Stubborn burnt food residue on the bottom.
Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 30 minutes, then use a non-abrasive nylon scrubbing pad to gently remove debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, remove all labels and wash the boiler in warm soapy water. We recommend a brief rinse with a diluted vinegar solution to ensure the surface is clean from factory residues.
Compatibility: This unit is compatible with most standard stovetops. For best performance, match the diameter of the boiler to the size of your burner to avoid overheating the sidewalls.
Care: To maintain the mirror-polished finish, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads. If stubborn spots appear, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. While the high-quality steel is sturdy, hand washing is highly recommended over dishwasher use to prevent long-term dulling of the exterior surface.
