Cooking Pots & Casseroles

Pots are sized by diameter in cm and capacity in litres. As a rough guide, 22 to 24 cm pots suit everyday cooking for two to four people, while 28 to 32 cm pots suit large family meals, stocks and cooking for gatherings, such as big batches of rice, molokhia or stews. Many kitchens keep one medium and one large pot.

A casserole pot is usually wider and shallower, with two side handles, which suits stews, braising, rice dishes and anything you brown before simmering. A taller cooking pot or stockpot has more height than width, so it suits soups, stocks, boiling pasta and cooking grains or legumes in larger amounts with less evaporation.

Only if the base is magnetic, since induction heats the pan through a magnetic field. Many stainless steel pots have a magnetic base made for induction, though not all of them do. Check the product details, or hold a fridge magnet to the base: if it sticks firmly, the pot should work on induction. Stainless steel pots work on gas and electric hobs too.

Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, and avoid steel wool, which can scratch the surface. White marks from hard water or rainbow-colored stains from heat usually come off with a little diluted vinegar. To prevent small pits forming, add salt once the water is boiling instead of to cold water, and dry the pots well after washing.
