Stockpot w. lid 24cm Vitalino Nero

WMF stock pots – gentle steaming keeps the nutrition where you want it

To make sure that you don't lose those all-important vitamins, minerals and trace minerals when steaming vegetables it is extra important to get the preparation right. The WMF stock pots are the perfect companion for cooking a wide range of vegetables.

The matching pot for each type of vegetable

Crunchy, fresh vegetables should be a regular part of any healthy diet. You should pay particular attention to preparing vegetables carefully. Stock pots are designed in a similar way to normal high casseroles but are slightly higher, at around 17 or 18 cm. In our online shop you can find models with diameters of 20, 24 and 28 cm, so that you can equip yourself for all manner of culinary challenges. This gives the stock pots a volume of 5 l to 8.8 l, putting them ahead of the high casseroles. Therefore it's not just vegetable dishes that can be cooked in stock pots but also soups and other dishes that are cooked with a lot of liquid.

Gentle cooking in WMF stock pots

Because the lid is easy to close it is quite simple to gently steam vegetables in the stock pot. Add just a little water and cook healthy natural ingredients without losing the valuable minerals, because the steam doesn't escape from the pot. At the same time, the bright and tasty-looking colours of the vegetables remain intact. Or you could prepare vegetable dishes the Mediterranean way – bake the vegetables in the pot first, close the lid and let them cook in their own juices. It's about the healthiest way there is to prepare vegetables.

A special use for your WMF stock pot: soup, meat and fish

Even though stock pots were designed to cook vegetables, they have a wide range of other uses in everyday cooking. They are perfectly designed for boiling meat or bones to produce genuine chicken stock or a fine cream of vegetable soup. They are also more suited to certain types of vegetable like asparagus that are cooked 'en masse' than a low or high casserole, for example. Even more substantial meat, fish or poultry dishes and hearty stews are comfortable cooking in our robust stock pots.

WMF stock pots are available in a number of collections such as Diadem Plus, Premium One or Function 4 in their customary elegant and modern design. You can depend on our easy to maintain Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10. Have a look through our range and find yourself a new WMF stock pot, also suitable for induction hobs!

The right lid for every pot!

Every pot comes with a matching lid. Our pots are fitted with high-tech lids which also have special functions to help you cook.

WMF pot lids have it covered.

But which lid is the right one? The lids in our collections are not only made to physically fit the pot, but they are made to look right with it as well. WMF metal lids combine safety with the high standards that the professional chef as well as the enthusiastic amateur have come to expect. The lids are in most cases fitted with hollow handles. The thermal break means the handle stays comfortable to touch when the lid is on the pot sitting on the hotplate. The lids are made from our tried-and-tested Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10 and it should go without saying that they are dishwasher safe and suitable for induction hobs. We offer lids both in matte and polished designs, meaning that you can always find the lid that goes best with your pot.

Our lids are completely watertight.

Traditional lids are in most cases made to be non-insertable. The heavy design of the lid can also reliably close the pot without hermetically sealing it. A non-insertable lid doesn't have a seal, unlike for example a pressure cooker lid, but the specially designed edge ensures a perfect fit. A number of lids have a vent hole to stop an unwanted vacuum from building up inside the pot.

Spare lids – making sure you always have the size you need!

Our lids may be robust, but no item of cookware is accident-proof. If you want to replace a lid for one of our pots then we recommend measuring the diameter of the pot just to be sure before placing your order with us. Measurements should be taken at the top inside edge if you want to be sure you're ordering the right one. Because our pots and frying pans are meticulously designed to provide a perfect fit, the measurements don't need to be exact. We sell pots in diameters from 12 to 32 cm, and you will be able to find a matching lid for any pot in our product range, whether you need a replacement or just want a spare.

Pots and lids – quality from WMF

Pots and lids come together as a perfectly harmonised unit both in our cookware sets and when bought as individual items. Choose pots with lids from our collections that aren't just functional but aesthetically pleasing as well. If you want to keep an eye on your cooking at all times then we recommend our collection of lids made from heat-resistant high-quality glass.
