Le Creuset Stainless Steel Stockpot

The tri-ply construction sandwiches an aluminum core between two layers of stainless steel. This design allows the pot to heat up quickly and evenly, eliminating the hot spots that often cause food to burn in thinner, single-layer pots.

Yes, the base is fully induction-compatible. It works seamlessly on induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.

Yes, this stockpot is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a great choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.

The handles are ergonomically designed and hollow, which helps minimize heat transfer from the pot to your hands. However, they are made of stainless steel, so they will still get warm; we recommend using oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pot while it is hot.

No, this pot features a high-quality, non-reactive surgical-grade stainless steel interior. It is not coated with nonstick chemicals, which allows for better searing and browning, though you will need to use a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is generally recommended to keep the stainless steel finish looking its best over the long term.
