Why Aluminium Cookware?
Aluminium is one of the best heat conductors available in cookware — it heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly across the base and sides of the pot, reducing hot spots and helping food cook more uniformly. This makes it particularly well suited to dishes that require consistent, even heat — such as curries, dals, and rice dishes where scorching on the base is a common problem with thinner pots. Heavy gauge aluminium cookware like the Mastercook casserole retains heat well once up to temperature, making it efficient to cook with on both gas and electric hobs.
Hob Compatibility
- ✅ Gas hob
- ✅ Electric hob
- ✅ Ceramic hob
- ❌ Not suitable for induction hobs (aluminium is not magnetic)
Care Instructions
- Hand wash recommended to preserve the finish and extend the life of the cookware
- Wash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge
- Avoid abrasive scourers or steel wool which may scratch the surface
- Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water marks
- Do not leave acidic foods (such as tomato-based dishes) sitting in the pot for extended periods
