ZWILLING Pro Stainless Steel Stock Pot - 24cm

The SIGMA Classic+ base is a 3-ply construction featuring an aluminum core encapsulated between layers of stainless steel. This design ensures quick, even heat distribution and excellent heat retention, preventing hot spots and cooking food uniformly.

Yes, the ZWILLING Pro stock pot is specifically designed with a magnetic stainless steel exterior on the base, making it fully compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as ceramic, gas, and halogen hobs.

The massive stainless steel handles are durable. Clean them with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. While they stay cool for a long time during cooking, they can be cleaned like the rest of the pot. Dry them thoroughly to prevent spotting.

While the 18/10 stainless steel is robust and scratch-resistant, it is generally recommended to use wood, silicone, or nylon utensils to preserve the pot's pristine finish over the long term, especially for stirring.

It means you can safely transfer the pot with its contents from the stovetop directly into an oven preheated to a maximum of 200°C (392°F) to continue cooking, braise, or keep food warm.

The tight-fitting glass lid is crucial for efficient cooking. It traps steam and heat, allowing food to cook faster and more evenly while using less energy. The glass allows you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid.

The especially wide pouring rim is engineered to allow for safe, precise pouring of liquids like stocks, sauces, or gravies without dripping down the sides of the pot, keeping your stovetop and serving dishes clean.

Ensure adequate preheating of the pot and sufficient cooking fat or liquid. Use medium heat settings rather than high heat for prolonged cooking. If residue remains after cooking, soak the pot in warm water before cleaning.

Verify that the pot is centered on the heat source and that the heat is not too high. The SIGMA Classic+ base is designed for even distribution, so ensure you are using appropriate heat levels for the recipe.

This is often mineral buildup from food or water. Try cleaning with a solution of vinegar and water or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. It does not affect the pot's performance.

Ensure the rim of the pot and the edge of the lid are clean and free of debris. Check for any warping on the lid or pot rim, although this is rare with quality cookware.
