FAQs
Can I put the KAKOMI pot in the dishwasher?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the pot using a soft sponge to preserve the finish.
Is the pot safe for microwave use?
No, the KAKOMI Enamel Pot is not designed for microwave use.
Why does the pot make noise on my induction cooktop?
Some induction cooktops may produce a light buzzing sound due to the pot's stainless steel base; this is normal and not a product defect.
How much liquid should I use?
For safety and to prevent boil-over, never exceed 70% of the pot's total 1L capacity.
Are variations in color considered defects?
No, minor variations in size, weight, and color are characteristic of the manufacturing process for this material.
Can I heat the pot while it is empty?
No, you should never heat the pot without liquid inside as it can damage the enamel coating.
Troubleshooting
Food is boiling over the sides
Reduce the volume of liquid; ensure the pot is never filled beyond 70% of its total capacity.
Enamel surface looks scratched
Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning sponges; only use wooden or silicone tools and soft washing pads.
Pot exterior is changing color
This is often a result of high-heat intensity; ensure the flame does not exceed the bottom of the pot, and avoid sudden temperature fluctuations.

Care Instructions:
- Always use oven mitts when handling, as the exterior and lid become very hot during use.
- Avoid 'thermal shock' by allowing the pot to cool down naturally before rinsing with cool water.
