- Does it work on induction hobs?
- Yes. The stainless steel base is rated for induction as well as gas, electric and ceramic hobs.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Yes. The body and lid can go in the dishwasher, though hand washing the gasket and valve extends their life.
- How much food does 5.96 L hold?
- It suits four to six people for stews, beans and stocks. Fill no more than two-thirds, and half for foods that foam.

- The base can be used for light sautéing on the hob, but it has no browning program and searing is better in a separate pan.
