Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the bottom.
Ensure adequate liquid is used and avoid excessively high heat. Preheating the pot with a small amount of oil before adding ingredients can also help. Stir food regularly.
Uneven cooking.
Confirm the pot is centered on the hob burner and that the heat setting is appropriate for the volume of food. The 'hot forged' base is designed for even distribution, so check hob functionality if issues persist.
Lid is difficult to remove after cooking.
This can happen due to thermal expansion or a strong vacuum. Allow the pot to cool slightly, or gently loosen the lid by slightly tilting it before attempting to remove it fully.
Water marks or discoloration on stainless steel.
These are typically mineral deposits or oxidation. Use a solution of vinegar and water or a specialized stainless steel cleaner to remove them.
