GREDIL 3.6 L Stainless Steel Cooking Pot with Lid

A cooking pot transfers heat from the hob to the ingredients through its base and sides, raising the temperature evenly so that food cooks through without scorching. The multi-layer bottom spreads the heat across the entire surface, preventing hot spots that can burn sauces or stews while leaving other areas undercooked. This method relies on conduction, where the metal absorbs energy from the burner and passes it directly to the contents, maintaining a steady simmer or boil as needed.

To use the pot, place it on a compatible hob, add ingredients and liquid, then cover with the included lid. The lid traps steam, which circulates inside and helps cook food faster while retaining moisture. Stay-cool handles allow the operator to lift the pot safely once the contents reach temperature, without risk of burns. After cooking, the pot can be removed from the heat and set aside to rest or serve directly from the hob.

The pot is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to rust and staining. The multi-layer bottom combines different metals to improve heat conductivity and durability, reducing the risk of warping over repeated use. The lid fits securely, creating a seal that keeps steam in and splashes out.

A 3.6 litre capacity provides enough space for family-sized portions of soups, sauces or braised dishes without crowding. The 240 mm diameter base fits standard domestic and professional hobs, while the 80 mm height keeps the centre of gravity low for stability. The weight remains light enough for easy handling, even when the pot is full.

Cleaning involves washing the pot and lid with warm water and detergent, using a non-abrasive cloth to preserve the surface. The stainless steel construction resists discolouration and does not absorb odours, so the pot can be reused immediately after washing. The stay-cool handles do not require special care beyond regular wiping.

This pot is part of a line sold in sets with matching lids.
