Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Strainer FAQ?

1. Will the holes in the strainer basket become clogged?

The holes in the strainer basket are well-designed, with a diameter of approximately 3-5 mm and a spacing of 8-12 mm. They are not prone to clogging under normal use. During cooking, larger food particles are effectively trapped by the strainer basket, while liquids and fine particles pass through smoothly. After each use, simply rinse the strainer basket with warm water and gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush to keep the holes clear. Even after extended use, regular cleaning as described above will maintain the patency of the filter basket holes and ensure its filtering function is not affected.

2. Will the handles get hot at high temperatures?

The handles of the pot and strainer basket are made of stainless steel and specially treated for excellent thermal conductivity and heat dissipation. During normal use, when the liquid in the pot reaches 100°C, the surface temperature of the handles typically rises to approximately 40-50°C, which is warm to the touch but generally does not cause burns. However, to ensure safety, it's recommended to use oven gloves or a towel when handling hot pots to prevent accidental burns. Avoiding prolonged exposure of the handles to direct heat during cooking can also effectively reduce the risk of them heating up.

3. Is the pot suitable for all stovetops?

This Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Strainer is compatible with a variety of stovetop types, including open flame, electric, gas, and induction. Stainless steel has excellent magnetic and thermal conductivity, making it compatible with all stovetops. When using an open flame, ensure the flame evenly covers the pot bottom to avoid overheating. When using electric or induction stovetops, ensure the pot bottom is in full contact with the stovetop surface to improve heating efficiency.

4. How can I prevent food residue from accumulating between the pot bottom and the strainer basket?

During cooking, place a piece of cooking paper or a strainer between the pot bottom and the strainer basket. When blanching or stewing food, cooking paper or a strainer can effectively trap food debris, preventing it from settling on the bottom of the pot, making post-cooking cleaning easier. When using a strainer, ensure it is placed stably and at a proper distance from the bottom of the pot. This helps the ingredients cook evenly and reduces the buildup of food residue. After cooking, remove the strainer and rinse the bottom of the pot with warm water. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush to easily remove any residue and keep the pot clean.

5. Can the lid withstand prolonged high temperatures?

The lid is made of food-grade stainless steel and has excellent high-temperature resistance. Testing has shown that the lid can withstand continuous use at temperatures of 250°C for several hours without deformation, discoloration, or loss of sealing performance. The lid's airtight design effectively maintains the temperature and pressure inside the pot, ensuring stable cooking and a consistent taste.
