Care
- Before first use: Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- While cooking: Always use oven gloves when handling anything hot. Use the most appropriately sized hob ring, especially on induction. Cook on a medium or low heat and let it heat up gradually.
- Induction hobs: Avoid the 'boost' function, which is intended for rapidly heating large volumes of water rather than cooking.
- Glass hobs: Never slide the stockpot across a glass-topped hob, as this can damage both the base and the glass. Always lift it on, off, or across the surface.
- Using salt: Don't pour salt directly onto the stainless steel surface. Add it to hot cooking liquid or food instead, to avoid damage.
- Handling when hot: Rest the pot on a heat resistant surface once removed from the heat.
- Grill use: When using under the grill, leave at least a 5cm gap between the heat source and the top of the pot.
- Cleaning: Let it cool before cleaning. Wipe off any leftovers, and soak stuck-on food in warm soapy water for 15 to 20 minutes before washing.
- Dishwasher: Dishwasher safe.
