FAQs
Does this pot come with a lid?

Yes, the stainless steel construction is compatible with induction, gas, and electric hobs.
What is the total capacity of this unit?

Can I put this in the oven?
While the stainless steel is oven-safe, check that your oven size accommodates the long handle comfortably.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
The handle is designed to stay cool during normal stovetop use, but you should still use caution when near direct flames.
Troubleshooting
Pot develops water spots after dishwashing
Wipe the surface with a soft cloth dampened with white vinegar to remove mineral deposits.
Difficulty maintaining temperature
Ensure the water bath (the outer pot) is at a consistent simmer and that the inner pot has direct contact with the steam or water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Bain Marie, fill a larger pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Place the Matfer Bourgeat pot into the water bath, ensuring the water level does not reach the brim of the inner pot to avoid contamination.
Care Instructions:
- Always allow the pot to cool before washing.
- While dishwasher safe, hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the polished finish.
- Avoid using harsh scouring pads, which can scratch the stainless steel surface.
- Ensure the pot is completely dry before storage to prevent water spotting.
