Matfer Bourgeat Excellence Stainless Steel Stockpot

The sandwich bottom features an aluminum core fused between two layers of 18/10 stainless steel. This design combines the rapid, even heat conductivity of aluminum with the durability and non-reactive properties of stainless steel, helping to prevent hot spots and scorching.

Yes, the handles are engineered to be air and watertight, which helps them remain cool during standard stovetop use. However, you should always use caution and oven mitts if the pot has been in the oven or on high heat for an extended period.

Yes, the stainless steel exterior is magnetic, making this pot fully compatible with induction cooktops as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.

While the pot is dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the polished finish. Because it is made of high-quality stainless steel, it is naturally resistant to rust and staining.

An NSF listing indicates that the product meets rigorous professional standards for food safety, hygiene, and durability. It provides assurance that the materials are non-toxic and the construction is designed to prevent food buildup and bacterial growth.

Matfer Bourgeat offers a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects for products used in a residential setting. If you encounter an issue related to the construction or materials, you can contact their support team to initiate a claim.
