Cooking specifics for large pots

GREDIL Large Pots with Lid — cooking large quantities requires knowledge and experience. Heating time — a large amount of water in a large pot takes longer to boil than in a small one; plan cooking time from the start; heating a large volume of soup can take 30–60 minutes. Stirring — food in a large pot can burn at the bottom without regular stirring; a long ladle or spoon is needed; see GREDIL Medium Pots with Lid. Heat control — a large pot retains heat longer after being turned off; keep this factor in mind for flavour and consistency control. Transfer tools — emptying a large pot requires a large ladle or a special pot drainer in the GREDIL series deep pot drainer.

Material and durability for intensive use

GREDIL Large Pots with Lid — large pots are the most intensively used kitchen accessory. Stainless steel — GREDIL pots made of stainless steel are resistant to intense heat, water and sanitary agents; non-reactive with food. Wall thickness — larger GREDIL pots have thicker walls, which ensure better durability and heat retention; greater weight, but longer lifespan; see GREDIL Pots. Handles — large pots are equipped with durable stainless steel handles; handles are attached to the pot with secure fastenings; important for safe lifting when full. Cleaning — large stainless steel pots are dishwasher-safe or can be washed by hand; burnt-on residue can be removed with stainless steel cleaners.
