The general rule of thumb for choosing a stockpot size is 1 L for every portion served. Smaller stockpots like the 6 L version are great for weeknight meals and sauce making, while medium stockpots like the 10.2 L stockpot are great for meal-prepping and batch cooking stocks and stews. Finally, the largest stockpot like the 15.1 L is great for canning.
Be sure to choose an appropriate size stockpot for your cooking needs and use it on a burner that matches its diameter. It is also recommended to use low to medium heat with your stockpots, ensuring even cooking and avoiding scorching.
While dishwasher safe, hand-washing is recommended, maintaining the stockpot’s integrity for years to come. For more information on how to use your Grills and Griddles, consult our Care & Use section.
