Kuhn Rikon Allround Stockpot

A durable 18/10 stainless steel stockpot with extra capacity for larger quantities. This stockpot is easy to clean and looks great. The fully encapsulated, impact bonded induction base ensures fast, even heating. A stockpot is a deeper pot with a larger capacity but doesn’t take up more space on the hob.

Use the stockpot on the hob or in the oven, perfect for making stocks, soups, casseroles and curries. It can also be used for cooking vegetables, potatoes, rice or pasta.

The comfortable stainless steel loop handles are riveted to the stockpot and will stay cool when used on the hob (provided flames are not licking up the sides). The glass lid has a convenient steam hole so that you can see what is happening inside the stockpot without losing heat by lifting the lid. 

Stainless Steel: 18/10 vs 18/0, which is better?
When investing in stainless steel cookware you want 18/10 stainless steel as it is more durable and will retain its good looks. 18/10 stainless steel includes 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The chrome provides hardness and rust resistance. The nickel is very resistant to rust, corrosion and stains, so it adds to the durability of the stockpot and provides the enduring shine. Stainless steel that is just 18/0 may be a lower price but it will be less resistant to rust and will not retain a polished finish.
