Stalgast 200 mm 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 dish. This method allows the pot to reach and maintain the desired temperature quickly, reducing the time needed to bring liquids to a boil or to simmer sauces gently. The lid traps steam, raising the internal temperature and speeding up the cooking process while keeping moisture in the food.

To use the pot, place it on a compatible hob—gas, electric, ceramic or induction. Add the ingredients and set the heat to the required level. The pot's base conducts the heat from the hob into the food, while the walls help distribute it evenly. The lid can be placed on top to retain heat and moisture, or left off to allow evaporation when reducing liquids. Once cooking is complete, the pot can be removed from the heat and the contents served directly or transferred to another container.

The pot is constructed from stainless steel with a satin finish, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining. The base is multi-layer encapsulated, combining different metals to improve heat conduction and durability. The handles are made of steel, welded at multiple points for strength, and designed to stay cooler than the pot body during use. The lid fits securely to prevent steam from escaping.

The 200 mm diameter and 4.4 L volume provide a compact yet sufficient capacity for sauces, soups, or small batches of food. The dimensions allow the pot to fit on standard hobs and in cupboards without taking up excessive space. The weight of the pot, while not specified, is balanced for easy lifting when full, aided by the ergonomic handles.

Cleaning is straightforward due to the stainless steel construction. The pot can be washed by hand or placed in a dishwasher, as the material resists corrosion and staining. The satin finish helps hide minor scratches and fingerprints, maintaining a professional appearance with regular use.

This pot is designed for use on all common hob types, including induction, making it versatile for different kitchen setups. Its durable construction and efficient heat distribution suit it to professional kitchens and frequent use.
