Using your Nella 12 Quart Stainless Steel Stock Pot is a breeze. First, make sure your cooktop is clean and turned off. Place the pot on the appropriate heat source - it works well on gas, ceramic, halogen, electronic, and induction cooktops. For best results, use medium heat when cooking to take advantage of the even heat distribution. When adding ingredients, start with liquids like water or broth if you're making soup or sauce. Then add your vegetables, meats, or other ingredients. When you're done cooking, turn off the heat and let the pot cool down before handling. To clean, simply wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the stainless - steel surface. You can also put the pot in the dishwasher, but hand - washing is recommended for a longer lifespan. Store the pot in a dry place, and you can stack it with other pots, but use a pot protector to prevent scratches. Make sure to keep the cover in a safe place when not in use. This pot is NSF certified, so you can trust it for all your food - related cooking needs in both home and commercial kitchens.
