Karaca Love of Kitchen Stainless Steel Induction Pasta Pot and Steamer with Lid, 24cm, Silver

Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the pot body and base?

A: The pot body is food-grade stainless steel with an encapsulated tri-ply base for induction compatibility. The base layer includes magnetic stainless steel for induction response. Exact steel grade is 18/10 stainless for the cooking surface.

Q: What is the maximum load capacity for the steamer insert?

A: The steamer insert handles approximately 3 kg of vegetables or dumplings when evenly distributed. Overloading restricts steam circulation and extends cooking time. The insert is not designed for dense items like root vegetables in full 6-litre volume.

Q: Can the lid and steamer insert be purchased separately as spares?

A: Replacement lids and steamer inserts are available through TurcoBazaar spare parts service. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for items not held in UK stock. Contact with model number for current availability and pricing.

Q: Is the pot compatible with commercial induction hobs above 3.5 kW output?

A: The tri-ply base is compatible with commercial induction hobs up to 5 kW. Higher wattage units may cause base warping over extended use. Verify hob output does not exceed manufacturer thermal limits for this pot diameter.

Q: What is the external height with lid fitted and handle clearance required?

A: Total height with lid is approximately 22cm. Handle clearance requires 28cm horizontal space from hob surface to overhead extraction or shelving. Measure your hob configuration before ordering if clearance is limited.
