GREDIL 6.1-litre stainless steel pot with stay-cool handles

A stainless steel pot designed for professional kitchens, holding 6.1 litres of liquid or solid ingredients. The pot transfers heat evenly from the hob to the contents, preventing hot spots that can scorch sauces or slow the cooking of stews. A multi-layer base spreads the heat across the entire bottom surface, so the pot responds quickly when the flame or element is adjusted and maintains a steady temperature once set.

The operator places the pot on a gas, electric or induction hob, adds the ingredients, and sets the heat level. The stay-cool handles remain safe to touch throughout cooking, allowing the pot to be moved without waiting for it to cool. A fitted lid traps steam, raising the temperature inside and speeding up the cooking of braises, stocks and grains.

Constructed from stainless steel, the pot resists corrosion and staining from acidic foods such as tomatoes or wine. The 240 mm diameter and 135 mm height create a compact footprint that fits on standard worktops and inside cupboards. The 6.1-litre capacity suits batches of soup, sauce or rice for a service period without overloading the hob.

Cleaning follows from the materials: stainless steel wipes clean with a cloth and detergent, and the smooth interior prevents food from sticking. The pot is dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing prolongs the finish of the handles and lid.

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