Setup

Unpacking

Carefully remove the stock pot and its lid from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.

Before First Use

Wash the stock pot and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

Operating Instructions

Stovetop Compatibility

This stock pot is suitable for use on glass, ceramic, and electric stovetops. Ensure the pot is centered on the burner for even heating.

Cooking with your Stock Pot

The generous 20-quart capacity is ideal for:

• Boiling large quantities of water for pasta, corn on the cob, or seafood.
• Preparing soups, stews, and broths.
• Slow simmering for rich flavors.
• Reducing liquids.

Always use appropriate heat settings. Stainless steel heats efficiently, so medium heat is often sufficient for most tasks.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

For best results, wash the stock pot and lid by hand with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots and maintain the polished finish.

For stubborn food residue, soak the pot in warm, soapy water before cleaning. Avoid using steel wool or harsh abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.

Storage

Store the stock pot in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or paper towel between items to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting

Water Spots or Discoloration

Water spots or discoloration can occur due to mineral deposits in water or high heat. To remove, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of water, apply to the affected area, let sit for a few minutes, then scrub gently with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry.

Food Sticking

Ensure adequate oil or liquid is used when cooking. Preheat the pot properly before adding ingredients. If food sticks, soak the pot in warm, soapy water for a period to loosen residue before cleaning.
