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 consumption. The system includes a high-quality 2.1-quart stainless steel pot and an insulated bowl that continues the cooking process after the pot is removed from the stovetop.Simply bring ingredients to temperature on the stove, then place the pot inside the insulated bowl.

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 convenient cleanup.Manufactured in Switzerland, the HOTPAN® system offers efficient cooking performance 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.
