What to Look for When Choosing
- Material: Stainless steel (robust, easy to care for), aluminum (lightweight, excellent heat conduction), cast iron (ideal for braising).
- Interior Coating: Non-stick for gentle cooking (traditional or ceramic); uncoated for high-temperature cooking.
- Finish: Polished (shiny, classic), matte (modern, easy to maintain), colored enamel (especially with STAUB).
- Stovetops: For induction, check product details or packaging. Stainless steel and cast iron usually work; aluminum only with a special base.
- Lids: Glass lids let you watch the cooking process; metal lids are great for oven use.
- Handles: Choose classic, stay-cool, or removable handles for more flexibility.
- Volume & Size: Small pots for sauces and sides, large pots for pasta, stews, and soups.
- Heat Distribution: Important for even cooking, especially on induction.
Special Pots
- Fondue Pot – perfect for sociable evenings with cheese or meat fondue.
- Asparagus and Pasta Pot – tall and slim, made for long vegetables and pasta.
- Oven-Safe Pots – for braising, baking, or keeping food warm.
- Pots with Removable or Folding Handles – ideal for compact kitchens and camping.
Accessories for Pots
- Lids: Glass or metal, as you prefer. Lids are available separately.
- Steamer Inserts: For gentle steaming of vegetables or fish.
Cleaning and Care for Pots
- Stainless steel is easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
- Aluminum pots should be washed by hand to protect the coating.
- Cast iron needs a little care (oil after washing), but lasts a long time.
