Description
xThe Bakken- Swiss 12‑quart stainless steel stockpot is a durable, versatile cookware piece built from 18/8 stainless steel with an impact‑bonded base for even heating and oven compatibility to 500°F (260°C).
This compact 12‑quart stockpot balances everyday practicality with professional construction. Crafted from food‑grade 18/8 stainless steel, it resists rust and flavor transfer while the aluminum‑core, impact‑bonded base speeds heat response and removes hot spots. A snug stainless lid, riveted ergonomically curved handles and a polished exterior finish make it simple to move from stovetop to oven, then to the table for serving.
How does this pot deliver even heat for soups and sauces?
The pot uses an impact‑bonded base that sandwiches a thick aluminum layer between stainless steel, combining fast heat conduction with the durability of stainless. That design spreads heat across the bottom and into the sides so liquids simmer evenly instead of forming localized hot spots.
- 0.138" thick bonded base for consistent surface heat
- Aluminum core accelerates heat-up and reduces energy waste
- Stainless steel cooking surface prevents reactivity with food
Is it safe and convenient for oven, induction, and other cooktops?
Yes — the stockpot is built to work on induction, gas, ceramic, glass and halogen cooktops and can go into an oven up to 500°F (260°C). The riveted stainless handles remain secure under heat and the lid seals in moisture for transitions between cooking methods.
- Induction compatible base for modern ranges

How easy is this stockpot to use and maintain?
Designed for daily kitchen life, it features smooth brushed interiors and a mirror‑polished belt that resists staining and looks tidy after cleaning. The riveted handles give a confident grip for lifting and pouring, and the snug lid keeps splatter and steam contained during simmering.
- Brushed interior for straightforward cleaning
- Riveted, polished handles for secure handling and durability
- Snug stainless lid retains heat and reduces boiling over
