Le Creuset Signature Stainless-Steel Stock Pot

Tri-ply construction means the pot is made of three bonded layers: a heat-responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design eliminates hot spots and ensures heat spreads evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pot, giving you better control over your temperature.

Yes, this pot is fully compatible with all cooktop types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs. The stainless steel exterior is magnetic, making it highly efficient for induction heating.

It is dishwasher safe, so you can clean it without worry. However, to maintain the polished stainless steel finish and prevent water spots over time, hand washing with warm, soapy water is generally recommended.

This stock pot is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C). This makes it versatile enough to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven, or to keep meals warm before serving.

The pot features ergonomic, riveted handles designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking. However, if you are using the pot in the oven, the handles will become hot, so you must use oven mitts.

A 7-quart capacity is a versatile, mid-sized option that works well for families. It is spacious enough to boil pasta, simmer large batches of soup, or make stocks, without being so bulky that it becomes difficult to store or maneuver.
