Borosilicate Glass Cooking Pot with Lid, 3.5 Litre

Cookware you can actually see into

A clear borosilicate pot with a matching glass lid and stainless steel handles, made for the kind of cooking where timing matters. Stocks, rice, poached fruit, a slow reduction. You watch it happen rather than lifting the lid every two minutes and letting the heat out. It works on gas and electric, though not on induction, since glass is not magnetic, and it goes from the stove to the table without needing a serving dish.

Three and a half litres, which is the size you reach for

Big enough for a full batch of soup or a stock worth freezing, small enough that it is not a production to get out. Twenty centimetres across and twelve and a half deep, so it sits on a normal burner without hanging over the edge, and it holds four generous portions with room left for the liquid to move.

Why you will love it

• Heat resistant glass - borosilicate handles direct flame and rapid temperature change without crazing.
• Nothing to stain or scratch - glass does not hold onto tomato, turmeric or garlic the way a coated pan does.
• You can see the simmer - no guessing, no lifting the lid, no lost heat.
• Cool-touch steel handles - riveted on both sides, balanced when the pot is full.
• Straight to the table - it looks like a serving dish because it is one.
• Dishwasher safe - no seasoning, no special care, no hand washing ritual.

Care

Dishwasher safe, though a rinse while still warm is quicker. Avoid setting a hot pot straight onto a cold wet surface. Like all glass cookware it will take a knock better than you expect but not a drop onto tile.
