The Korkmaz Alfa 16x9 cm (Model: A1016) is a compact, high-performance deep casserole. It is the perfect "starter" pot for boiling small portions, cooking grains, or preparing sauces. ## Technical Specifications Feature Details Model Number A1016 Dimensions 16 cm (Diameter) x 9 cm (Height) Capacity 1.8 Liters Material 18/10 Cr-Ni Stainless Steel Base Super Capsule "Solar Base" ## Why Choose the A1016? Efficient Size: The 1.8-liter capacity is ideal for single-person meals, baby food, or reheating leftovers without using a massive family-sized pot. Solar Base Technology: Despite its small size, it features the full triple-layer capsule base. This ensures rapid heat transfer and even distribution, which is critical for smaller quantities of food that can easily scorch on cheaper, thinner pots. Professional Handles: It features the signature Alfa extra-thick stainless steel handles. They are designed to stay cool on most stovetops, though as a "Deep" model on a gas flame, you should keep the heat centered to avoid heating the metal handles. Induction Compatible: Like all Alfa models, it is fully compatible with all stove types including induction, gas, and electric. ## Design Details Straight Silhouette: The industrial, straight-walled design makes it easy to stack in cupboards and maximize volume compared to rounded pots of the same diameter. Flat Lid: The stainless steel lid is designed to be flat for easy storage and features a tight seal to lock in steam and nutrients. Mirror Polish: The exterior is polished to a high mirror shine, ensuring it stays rust-free and hygienic with daily use. ## Maintenance Tip Because of the high-quality steel, you might sometimes see a "rainbow" or blue tint on the bottom after boiling water. This is perfectly normal! Just wipe it with a soft cloth and a drop of vinegar or lemon juice to restore the mirror shine instantly.
