FAQs
Is the Alessi Mami casserole oven safe?
Yes, as it is constructed entirely of high-quality stainless steel, it is suitable for oven use.
Does this pot come with a lid?
The product description focuses on the casserole body; please check your specific packaging for the matching lid, which is often sold as part of the Mami collection.
Can I use metal utensils with this pot?
While the stainless steel is durable, using silicone or wooden utensils is recommended to preserve the mirror finish over time.
Is the 4.6L capacity enough for a family of four?
Yes, the 4.6L capacity is generally sufficient for preparing main courses for four to six people.
How do I remove burnt-on food?
Soak the pot in warm, soapy water for several minutes, then use a soft nylon brush or cloth to gently lift the residue.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the base during searing.
Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding oil, or use a slightly higher fat content to improve non-stick properties.
Water spots or rainbow-colored stains on the interior.
These are common mineral deposits or heat tints; they can be easily removed by wiping the interior with a solution of water and white vinegar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, wash the casserole in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly to remove any polishing residue.
Compatibility: This unit is compatible with all modern heat sources. When using induction, ensure the burner diameter closely matches the base of the pot for optimal performance.
Care: While the piece is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the signature mirror-polished luster. Avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring powders, which can scratch the surface. If stubborn spots appear, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to restore the finish.
