FAQs

What is the total capacity of the pot?

The total volume of the pot, when filled to the brim, is 5.0 liters. The usable capacity for cooking may be less to prevent overflow.

Can I use this pot on an induction hob?

Yes, the Kuhn Rikon Smart & Compact casserole pot is suitable for all hob types, including induction.

How does the vacuum function on the lid work?

The vacuum function helps to create a seal when the lid is properly closed, allowing you to store leftovers in the pot and keep them fresh for longer. Specific activation instructions may vary; refer to the product manual if needed.

Can I put the lid in the oven with the pot?

No, the pot is oven-safe up to 220°C without the lid. The lid is not designed for oven use.

Are the silicone handles completely heatproof?

The silicone handles are heat-insulating for safer handling on the stovetop. However, when the pot is used in the oven, oven mitts are recommended due to the high ambient temperature.

How do I clean the pot and lid?

The pot is dishwasher proof. The lid handle can be removed for easier cleaning. Handwashing with mild detergent is recommended to maintain the pot's finish.

What are the dimensions of the pot?

The pot has a diameter of 16 cm, a width of 178 mm (with handles), and a height of 95 mm. The total diameter including external elements is 25.7 cm, and total width with handles is 33.5 cm.

Troubleshooting

Pot is not heating evenly on the hob.

Ensure the hob surface is clean and level. Verify that the pot is centered on the heat source and that the hob setting is appropriate for the pot's size.

Lid is difficult to remove from the pot base.

Ensure the pot has cooled completely. If vacuum sealed, gently release pressure by slightly lifting the lid edge or pressing the vacuum release mechanism if available. The magnetic attachment should not cause difficulty in removal once cooled.

Food is sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Ensure sufficient cooking fat or liquid is used. Preheat the pot adequately before adding food. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads when cleaning, as this can damage the surface.

Handles feel hot to the touch during stovetop use.

The silicone handles are designed to reduce heat transfer, but prolonged high heat may still cause them to warm up. Always maintain a firm grip and use caution. Oven mitts are recommended if using the pot in the oven.
