Stalgast 1.9 L stainless steel cooking pot with lid

A cooking pot transfers heat from the hob to the food through its base and walls. The multi-layer encapsulated base spreads the heat evenly across the entire surface, preventing hot spots that can scorch or undercook portions of the food. This method allows the pot to maintain a steady temperature, which is essential for simmering sauces, boiling pasta or reducing stocks without constant stirring.

The operator places the pot on a compatible hob, adds the ingredients and sets the heat level. The lid traps steam, raising the internal temperature and speeding up cooking while retaining moisture. When the food is ready, the pot is lifted by its handles, which remain cool enough to grip safely thanks to their multi-point welded steel construction.

The pot is made of stainless steel with a satin finish that resists fingerprints and scratches. The encapsulated base contains layers of aluminium or copper sandwiched between stainless steel, improving heat conduction without reacting with acidic foods. The lid fits tightly to prevent steam escaping, and both the pot and lid are dishwasher-safe for quick cleaning between services.

The 1.9 litre capacity suits small batches of sauces, vegetables or grains in a professional kitchen. The 160 mm diameter base fits standard induction, gas, electric and ceramic hobs, allowing the pot to be moved between different cooking stations without compatibility issues. The height of 95 mm provides enough space for liquids to boil without spilling over, while keeping the pot shallow enough to stir easily.

Cleaning involves washing the pot and lid in a dishwasher or by hand, using non-abrasive detergents to preserve the satin finish. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, so the pot does not require seasoning or special storage conditions. The welded handles do not loosen over time, eliminating the need for periodic tightening.

The pot is listed in the Stalgast professional cookware range, under small-capacity vessels for sauce and side-dish preparation.
