Stainless steel pots

Stainless steel pots have several properties that make them a popular choice in both domestic and professional kitchens. They withstand high temperatures, resist scratches and can be used with metal utensils. Stainless steel does not react with acidic ingredients such as tomatoes or wine, helping to preserve the flavour and appearance of the food. The surface is easy to clean, and the pots are dishwasher-safe.

• Excellent durability and long service life
• No transfer of flavour or colour
• Easy to maintain and clean

Correct heating and the use of cooking fat help minimise the risk of food sticking. The integrated draining function and pouring rim on several models make it easy to drain liquids without spilling the contents.

All SCANPAN stainless steel pots are made from high-quality stainless steel. The construction combines steel and aluminium, with an aluminium core between the layers of steel to provide fast and even heat distribution. This ensures even heating and makes it easier to control the temperature while cooking.

• Sandwich base or multi-layer construction for optimum heat distribution
• Ovenproof up to 250 °C, including the lid on selected models
• Cast stainless steel handles that stay cool for longer
• Practical internal measuring scale on selected models

The considered design focuses on features that make work in the kitchen easier and help deliver reliable results. The popular Fusion 5, Impact and STS series offer different functional details and designs.

Stainless steel pots are available in a range of sizes and shapes. Small saucepans are ideal for sauces and smaller portions, while larger pots suit casseroles, pasta or soup. Explore our saucepans for smaller tasks.

• Saucepan: For milk, sauces and small side dishes
• Medium-sized pot: For everyday cooking, vegetables and smaller casseroles
• Stock pot: For large portions, casseroles, soups and stocks

The range of sizes makes it easy to find a pot to suit both the dish and portion.

SCANPAN offers stainless steel pots in three series: Fusion 5, Impact and STS. Each has its own features and design:

Fusion 5 series: A mirror-polished exterior, even heat distribution and practical features.

Impact series: A robust everyday stainless steel series with efficient heat distribution and useful details.

STS series: An elegant series in high-gloss polished 18/10 stainless steel with a solid construction and even heat distribution.

All three series combine solid materials, considered features and a design that suits modern and classic kitchens.

Compared with pots made from other materials, stainless steel pots are more robust and require no special maintenance. They tolerate metal utensils and high temperatures, although they need a little more care to prevent sticking. Unlike cast iron, stainless steel does not need seasoning and tolerates acidic ingredients. Explore our cookware sets.

Your choice depends on the dishes you cook most often and how much flexibility you want.

Heat stainless steel pots gradually and use an oil with a high smoke point. Avoid pouring cold water into a hot pot, as this can distort the base. Clean with mild washing-up liquid and use a scouring pad if needed. Correct care and storage extend the service life. Lids and steamer inserts broaden how you can use your pots.

• Heat the pot gradually
• Use suitable products to remove water marks
• Avoid sudden temperature changes

These tips will help you enjoy your stainless steel pots for many years.
