Cooking pot

A cooking pot where nothing sticks

Pasta, rice, potatoes or soup for four: a cooking pot is the pan that's on the hob every day. At Cook & Pan it has a smooth ceramic non-stick coating without PFAS, so rice that sat a little too long simply comes away. The thick, magnetic base heats evenly on induction, gas, ceramic and electric hobs, and the glass lid lets you see what's happening without losing heat.

Which cooking pot suits you?

• Cooking pot with lid 20 cm: the small pot for rice, a portion of pasta or sauce for two.
• Cooking pot with lid 22 cm: the everyday size, for potatoes and vegetables for a family.
• Cooking pot with lid 24 cm: the large pot for soup, pasta for four or a one-pot dish. See the 24 cm cooking pots.
• Honey cooking pot with lid, stainless steel: the same ceramic coating on a sturdy stainless steel body with an extra-thick base. In 20, 22 and 24 cm, made for induction.
• Cast iron dutch oven, 2.5 to 6.5 litres: for stews and anything that can simmer for hours, in the oven too. See the casserole pots.
• Cooking pot set: several sizes in one go, in the same colour. See the cooking pot sets.

Ceramic, stainless steel or cast iron: which cooking pot should you choose?

• Aluminium with a ceramic non-stick coating: light, quick to the boil and easy to clean. See the ceramic cooking pots.
• Stainless steel with a ceramic non-stick coating (Honey): sturdier, scratch-resistant and with a base that spreads the heat extra evenly.
• Enamelled cast iron: holds heat for hours and goes straight from the hob into the oven.

Which size cooking pot do you need?

For one or two people, 20 cm is enough. A family goes for 22 or 24 cm, and for soup, big batches of pasta or stock for the freezer you choose 24 cm or a cast iron dutch oven of 4 to 6.5 litres. On induction, choose a base that is roughly the size of your cooking zone. For milk and small sauces, a saucepan is handier than a cooking pot.

Cooking pot on induction

Every cooking pot has a magnetic base and works on induction. Water boils faster than on gas, and once it boils you can turn down to a low setting. Cooking on induction? Take a look at our cooking pots for induction too.

Cooking pot without PFAS

Keeping your cooking pot smooth for longer

Let the pot cool down a little before rinsing it, use wooden or silicone utensils and preferably wash by hand with a soft sponge. The cooking pots can go in the dishwasher, but washing by hand keeps the coating looking good for longer. Cast iron is washed by hand and dried straight away.

How long does a cooking pot last?

Our cooking pots come with a 7-year warranty on manufacturing and material defects and a 2-year warranty on the performance of the ceramic coating. Cast iron has a 25-year warranty. Want to try it at home first? You get 60 days of try-cooking.
