There are \u003cstrong\u003efour sizes — 2.5L, 3.5L, 4.5L and 5.5L\u003c\/strong\u003e — so you can match the pot to the pan you actually cook in rather than heating a half-empty vessel. It goes from hob to table, so a stew can be served in what it was cooked in, which saves a serving dish and keeps food hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorosilicate heat-resistant glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatching glass lid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 L, 3.5 L, 4.5 L, 5.5 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoups, stews, sauces, vegetables, rice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCook and serve in the same pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlass cookware asks for one habit change: no sudden temperature swings. Heat gradually, avoid putting a hot pot straight onto a cold wet counter, and never add cold liquid to a hot empty pot. Match the pot base to the burner size so the flame does not lick up the sides. Choose capacity by household — 2.5L suits one or two people or a side dish, 3.5L a small family, and 4.5–5.5L for family cooking, batch stews and entertaining. Check whether your hob type suits glass cookware; gas and electric coil generally do, while induction needs a compatible base. Wash by hand to keep the glass clear, and use a soft sponge so the surface stays scratch-free and see-through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a stainless or aluminium pot, glass lets you monitor cooking without losing steam and doubles as a serving dish, though it is heavier and needs gentler handling. Against a ceramic casserole, it is far easier to judge doneness because you can see through the sides as well as the lid. For high-heat searing, keep a metal pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I buy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.5L for one or two people or side dishes, 3.5L for a small family, and 4.5-5.5L for family meals, batch cooking and entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go on any cooker?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGas and electric coil hobs generally suit glass cookware; induction needs a compatible base.
