Does the DUCQ Downdraft cooking pot work on induction?

Yes. DUCQ designs its pans specifically for induction. Gas, ceramic, electric and halogen also work perfectly. If you often cook for long periods on high gas heat, the base may warp slightly over time.

Can the DUCQ Downdraft cooking pot go in the oven?

Yes, pan up to 250 °C, glass lid up to 220 °C. Note: the silicone ring in the lid dries out faster in the oven. It is therefore better to leave the lid on the counter. The handles do get hot in the oven: use oven mitts to handle the pan.

Can the DUCQ Downdraft cooking pot go in the dishwasher?

Absolutely. Just be sure to dry it immediately after the cycle with a soft cloth to prevent streaks and water spots. Over time, washing it in the dishwasher can make the steel look a bit dull.

Do the handles get hot?

No, as long as you place the pan in the center of a suitable cooking zone. The handle only touches the pan at two small points, so very little heat is transferred to it. On a gas stove, flames licking up the side of the pan can heat the handle. And in the oven, of course, it will get hot.

How does a downdraft pan work?

The glass lid has a silicone ring with a cutout on one side. Turn that cutout towards the extractor fan in your cooktop: the steam goes exactly that way. Your extractor fan doesn't have to blow as hard, so less noise. And you pour out through the same cutout, lid on.

Is the DUCQ Downdraft cooking pot PFAS-free?

Yes. There is no non-stick coating: the inside is just stainless steel. So no PFAS either.

How do I remove white spots or discoloration from the inside?

White spots are limescale or starch; discoloration is caused by overheating. Both can be removed with a soft cloth and a splash of vinegar. A brown haze on the outside? Give it a quick polish with stainless steel cleaner from the supermarket.

What do I get out of those 3 layers?

An aluminium core between two layers of stainless steel ensures that heat spreads quickly and evenly throughout the pan. No hot spots, so less burning, and you save energy.

How many people is the DUCQ Downdraft cooking pot for?

For about 3 people. Allow about 1 liter per person.

Induction Gas Ceramic Halogen Electric

Product information

Suitable for all heat sources, including induction

PFAS-free

With a capacity of 3 litres, this stainless steel 3-ply 'downdraft' saucepan is ideal for preparing smaller quantities of vegetables or potatoes, for example. The unique silicone ring in the lid ensures that the lid stays firmly in place during cooking and that condensation is drained from the pan through the recess on the side. An additional advantage is that pouring becomes even easier thanks to this recess. Because the handles only make contact with the pan at two small points, the pan heats up much less quickly.
