Matte Black Finish: The exterior of the stock pot is treated to achieve a deep, low-sheen black surface that resists fingerprints and scratches from everyday handling. Unlike a glossy coating, the matte texture keeps its understated appearance even after repeated use, and it pairs naturally with a range of kitchen styles without drawing unnecessary attention.
Wood Handles with a Comfortable Grip: The long main handle and the helper handle are shaped from solid wood. Wood provides a warm, natural feel in the hand and stays noticeably cooler on the hob than bare metal. The handles are attached with robust rivets that remain steady under a full load of soup or stock.
Stainless Steel Body and Lid: Beneath the matte exterior lies a core of aluminium sandwiched between layers of stainless steel, delivering even heat distribution across the base and walls. The interior is bright, food-grade stainless steel that does not react with acidic ingredients. The lid is topped with a matching wood knob and features a stainless rim that seals neatly to trap moisture.
Induction and Multi-Hob Ready: The magnetic stainless outer layer makes the pot suitable for induction cooktops, and it works equally well on gas, ceramic, halogen and electric rings. The bonded aluminium core responds quickly to temperature adjustments, helping to prevent a broth from boiling over once the heat is lowered.
Oven and Temperature Considerations: The pot can be used in the oven up to moderate temperatures, though the wooden handles and lid knob should not be subjected to direct grill heat or sustained high oven settings. When moving the pot from hob to oven, using an oven mitt is recommended for the metal parts.
Care for Wood and Metal: Hand washing is recommended to protect the wood components. The wooden handles benefit from an occasional rub with a small amount of food-safe mineral oil, which helps preserve their smooth finish and prevents drying or cracking. The stainless steel body and lid can be wiped clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent; abrasive scrubbers should be kept away from both the matte exterior and the bright interior.
Storage Suggestion: To protect the wooden handles and the matte finish, placing a soft pan protector between stacked pots is a useful habit. This simple step helps keep the surface free from tiny scuffs that can accumulate over years of storage.
