Duxtop SSIB pasta pot features

Duxtop 8.6 quart stock pot with 9.5″ pasta strainer and steamer basket is made of 18/10 commercial grade stainless steel with heavy gauge impact-bonded aluminum encapsulated bottom for unsurpassed heat distribution.

The impact bonded pot’s base is manufactured using a special impact bonding equipment that uses friction and heat-pressure technology to form the bond between the base of the pot and the disc.
The disc is placed on the base of the pot, and when passed through the impact bonding machine, through pressure and friction the bond is formed. It allows aluminum to be spread to the outside edge of the pot, eliminating hot spots and consequent burning in the pan’s interior corners.

Impact bonding manufacturing method doesn’t use fillers or
adhesive and it’s more expensive that the regular (braising) method that uses even layer of adhesive (that can melt if the pot is exposed to prolonged overheating or boils dry, causing disc separation), heat and pressure to produce 3 ply encapsulated base.

Because impact bonding does not require adhesive, the possibility of disc separation due to abuse is eliminated.

Pasta pots for All cooktops & Induction

The external layer of the pot’s base is made of 18/0 magnetic stainless steel for induction compatibility. It contains 18% of chromium content and 0 % of nickel content. Chromium is hard and corrosion resistant metal. Nickel enhances the hardness and rust resistance of stainless steel, but makes it non magnetic.
Since the base doesn’t contain the nickel, it’s more likely to rust without proper care. Make sure it’s dry to prevent spots and rust on the base.

The heavy lid fits tight in the pot, strainer and the steamer. It creates a good seal and has a vent that lets the steam to escape to prevent the pressure build up.

Th large handles with anti-slippery satin finish, are riveted to the pot for durability. It’s dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe. It comes with limited lifetime warranty. Duxtop pasta pot is manufactured by Secura.
