This stainless steel stockpot is great for cooking pasta, creating the perfect stock for homemade soups, or making your favorite one pot family meal. Stainless steel cookware has been used for generations all around the world due to its resistance to corrosion, scratching, and denting. We recommend low to medium heat while cooking and to use high heat for boiling water. To ensure that the beauty of the stainless finish lasts many years we recommend hand washing.
