Which pot for which job

Use the two smallest pots for sauces, milk and daal, the middle size for vegetables and rice, and the two largest for curries, biryani and soups.

Before first use

Wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly before cooking for the first time, to remove any dust or residue from packing. Prepared like this, the 5 piece aluminium pot set is ready for the kitchen.

Cooking tips

Use a medium heat and let the metal warm up gradually, stir with wooden or silicone utensils, and match the burner to the size of the base so flames do not climb the sides. Cooked this way, food in the 5 piece aluminium pot set browns and simmers more evenly.

Cleaning

Let cookware cool before washing. Soak any stuck-on food in warm soapy water, use a soft sponge or nylon scourer, then dry fully to keep the silver finish bright. Cared for like this, the 5 piece aluminium pot set keeps its shine.

Who it is for

Cookware like the 5 piece aluminium pot set suits family kitchens, restaurants and takeaways, and anyone who cooks South Asian dishes in quantity. It also makes a practical gift for a new home.

Storage

Store cookware dry, with lids resting beside or loosely on top rather than sealed, so air can circulate. Graduated sizes nest inside each other to save cupboard space, which keeps the 5 piece aluminium pot set tidy between meals.

Cooking for a crowd

For a family gathering or an event, cook rice in one pot, a curry in another and daal or vegetables in a third, all at once on the hob or a gas burner. Matching pots also look smart carried to a buffet table with their lids on, keeping food warm until it is served.

Lids and steam

A lid traps heat and steam, so water boils sooner and rice and stews cook more gently. Tilt the lid slightly when simmering sauces, so they thicken without boiling over.

Lifting full pots

Use both side handles and oven gloves when lifting a full pot, and lift straight up rather than sliding it across the hob. Large pots full of liquid are heavy, so ask for a hand with the biggest sizes.

Planning meals ahead

Cooking once and eating twice saves time on busy weekdays. Make a double batch, cool the extra quickly and keep it covered in the fridge, or freeze it in portions for the week ahead.
