The Farberware Classic Series 12-quart stainless steel stock pot is a roomy, induction-ready pot with a thick aluminum core for fast, even heating and a tight-fitting lid for moisture retention.

Built for large-batch cooking, this 12-quart stock pot blends a multi-layer base with polished 18/10 stainless steel to deliver long-lasting performance and an elegant mirror finish.

How does this stock pot distribute heat evenly?

The pot uses a full-cap base with a thick aluminum core sandwiched between stainless steel layers. Aluminum conducts heat quickly and spreads it across the bottom and up the sides, while the stainless steel exterior ensures compatibility with all cooktops, including induction.

• Full-cap base for stable, warp-resistant heating
• Thick aluminum core for rapid heat conduction
• 18/10 stainless steel outer layer for durability and induction use
• Mirror-polished interior for easy cleaning and food release

Can I use this pot in the oven or on an induction stove?

Yes. The stainless steel construction and riveted handles are oven-safe up to 350°F, and the magnetic stainless exterior makes the pot compatible with induction ranges. This versatility lets you brown, simmer, and finish dishes without switching cookware.

• Oven-safe to 350°F—finish recipes in the oven as needed
• Magnetic stainless steel works on induction cooktops
• Riveted, stainless-steel handles remain sturdy with regular use
