Which side should be up when put into the pot?

Coincidence... As I read this, I am boiling potatoes, and I can be confident that the water will not bubble up into a huge plume of foam. The side with the 'hills' goes on top. You can see a little lip on one side of the perimeter that lets the bubbles escape from underneath. YOU WILL LOVE IT.

The raised side should be up when put in the pot. The outside edge should point down.

Hi - Your pot will never boil over. If you are cooking rice, say, a few kernels will probably splash out, but it won't bubble over.

If you see a raised notch on one of the sides, place it such that the there is some space between the pot watcher and the bottom of the vessel. Conceptually the pot watchers trap bubbles and when enough bubbles accumulate they are release through this notch. Hope that helps!

The side with a bump on its radius should be up. So that the bubbles forming beneath make the disk rattle when escaping. I bet it still makes some noise if you use it upside down, just not as much.

the same as when empty, you're just filling the space as you would a pot. The sides are at 90 degrees to the bottom so nothing changes.

As long as you do not overfill the pot, it will not come out of the top. When you are looking into the neti pot, there is a mini-ledge at the point the handle joins the body. You should stay a smidgen below that line, to avoid overfilling. It is very important to keep your hand level when using it, however. Despite this small issue, I MUCH this design to the conventional neti pot.

do you mean the pot itself or the bottom of the stand? Either way, both are flat. And just as a counter to Anne's comment, I love this pot. I've used it for cheese, meat and chocolate fondues and it has performed very well with all three.

The recommended method is to add Hot water to pot. I would think that is the safest method.

You can use the side burner for both, the grate can be raised about an inch or so for cooking/searing, then lowered flush for pots and pans. The side burner grate for that model comes with a cast iron grate that needs to be highly maintained due to the high heat burning off the seasoning of the grate. I ordered the stainless sided burner grate separately as it's low maintenance. Hope that helps

No, there are not any measures marked on the sides. Totally agree with Gwendolyn, these are great pots. We had to leave the first set with the house we just sold as it had an induction cooktop, so we immediatly bought another set to replace them.

On the side where you connect the handle. Open the top and it is right there.

You need to measure the diameter of the bottom of the pot. From one side to the other, not the circumference

Lighter side up - to reflect light/heat Darker side up - to heat pool Hope this makes sense

I have seen it placed both ways, my preference is near the flue, i think it's safer for the house. one does not want to over heat the stove.

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

If the bottom of the pot is flat, then normal pot with full amount of water isn't a problem to its surface. Just ensure you don't put a single tiny point onto the top particularly the center.

Make the arrow on the cover and the arrow on the pot handle match. Apply slight down pressure and turn clockwise. Slightly tricky. But with some practice it becomes easy.

Opening on both sides where you can put your hands in and grab the potatoes. Hope this helps.

Hi Ronnie, the picture on Amazon shows the correct side up. I have had my nippers for a few months and love them. Steve

Prior to putting basket into pot I sometimes put my vegetables in first. Then I lower basket into pot and add remaining items. Works for me all the time.
