FAQs

Can this pot go in the dishwasher?

While the exterior may withstand dishwashing, it is not recommended. Handwashing with mild soap and a soft sponge will preserve the integrity and performance of the non-stick interior and the enamel finish for longer.

What type of utensils can I use with this pot?

To protect the premium non-stick interior, it is best to use utensils made from silicone, wood, or plastic. Avoid metal utensils as they can scratch and damage the non-stick coating.

Is this pot oven-safe?

The product description does not specify oven-safety. It is recommended to use it on the stovetop only, as mentioned in the description for safe handling on and off the hob.

How do I maintain the non-stick coating?

Avoid using high heat, as this can degrade the non-stick properties. Always use low to medium heat. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, and avoid cutting food directly in the pot. Allow the pot to cool before washing.

What is the material of the pot?

The pot is crafted from durable cast aluminium with a protective enamel exterior and a premium non-stick interior.

Can I use this pot on an induction cooktop?

Yes, the pot features a flat, induction-ready base, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the non-stick interior.

Ensure the pot is adequately preheated on low to medium heat before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the coating. Clean the interior gently with a soft sponge.

Uneven heating on the stovetop.

Verify that the pot is centered on the burner and that the burner size is appropriate for the pot base. Ensure the stovetop surface is level.

Exterior enamel appears dull or stained.

Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild dish soap. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and wiped off. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Lid does not fit tightly.

Ensure the rim of the pot and the lid are clean and free of debris. Check for any warping of the lid or pot rim, which could be caused by extreme temperature changes or impacts.

Compatibility: The flat, induction-ready base makes this pot compatible with all common stovetop types, including gas, electric, and induction.

Care:

  • Before First Use: Wash the pot and lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • Cooking: Use low to medium heat for most cooking. High heat is generally not required due to cast aluminum's excellent heat retention. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick surface; opt for silicone, wood, or plastic. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or harsh detergents on the interior.
  • Cleaning: Allow the pot to cool before washing. Clean the interior with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water. The durable enamel exterior can be wiped clean. Dishwasher use is not recommended as it can degrade the non-stick coating and dull the exterior finish over time. Handwashing will prolong the life and performance of the non-stick interior.
