The Kuhn Rikon Hotpan Stainless Steel Cooking Pot with Insulated Bowl is a unique thermal cookware system designed to cook food gently while reducing energy use. The system includes a high-quality 3.2-quart stainless steel pot and an insulated bowl that continues the cooking process after the pot is removed from the stovetop. After briefly heating ingredients on the stove, the pot is placed inside the insulated bowl where retained heat completes the cooking process slowly and evenly. This gentle cooking method helps preserve vitamins, minerals, and natural flavors while using up to 60% less energy compared to traditional stovetop cooking. The cooking pot is made from premium 18/10 stainless steel and features a Superthermic® sandwich base that provides fast and even heat distribution. The double-wall stainless steel lid helps retain heat and moisture, while stay-cool handles provide comfortable handling during cooking. The insulated bowl keeps food hot for up to two hours, making it ideal for soups, grains, vegetables, rice, and family-sized meals. The pot is suitable for all stovetops including induction, gas, ceramic, electric, and halogen. It is also oven safe up to 350°F and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Manufactured in Switzerland, the HOTPAN® system combines efficient thermal cooking with premium Swiss craftsmanship. Important: The insulated bowl must never be placed on a stovetop and should only be used together with the Hotpan cooking pot.
