FAQs

What is the pot made of?

The pasta pot is made from high-quality 304 stainless steel.

Can I use this pot on an induction cooktop?

Yes, this pasta pot is compatible with induction cooktops.

Is the lid dishwasher safe?

While the pot is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and extend the life of the product.

What is the capacity of the pasta pot?

The pasta pot has a capacity of 5 litres.

Are the handles heat resistant?

The handles are riveted and provide a secure grip, but use oven mitts or pot holders for safe handling when the pot is hot.

What should I do if food gets stuck to the bottom of the pot?

Soak the pot in warm, soapy water for a while, and then gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. You can also use a baking soda paste.

Can I use metal utensils with this pot?

While the pot is durable, it's recommended to use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the surface.

What if my pot gets burnt?

Allow the pot to cool and soak it in hot, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive scrub to remove the burnt food. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Pasta sticks to the bottom of the pot.

Ensure you use enough water and stir the pasta frequently during cooking. Reduce heat if necessary.

Stains or discoloration on the stainless steel.

Use a stainless steel cleaner or a baking soda paste to remove stains. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

The lid fogs up making it difficult to see the pasta.

Reduce the heat slightly. The fogging is caused by condensation, which can be minimized by controlling the temperature.
