Product Overview
GS-01801-CA is a 5-ply stainless steel casserole pot with a glass lid, polished silver exterior and riveted side handles. This covered stew pot is intended for cookware importers, private label brands and wholesale distributors building coordinated pot assortments. Its glass-lid presentation and double-handle format suit family cookware programs where buyers want a clearly specified multi-ply option.
Product Highlights
- Glass lid with a metal loop handle: the transparent lid allows a view of the contents during covered cooking, while the stainless steel rim coordinates with the pot body.
- Paired riveted side handles: the double-handle layout supports controlled two-handed handling. Handle clearance and carrying balance should be checked with the approved sample.
- Polished stainless steel presentation: the smooth silver-tone body and matching handles give retail buyers a consistent appearance for branded cookware photography and packaging.
- Covered casserole format: the pot-and-lid combination provides a soup, stew and one-pot cooking SKU that can be planned alongside other pieces in a private label range.
Five-Ply Construction and Heating
For quotation, the proposed reference stack is SS304 stainless steel / aluminum / aluminum alloy / aluminum / SS430 magnetic stainless steel. In this configuration, the aluminum-based middle layers spread heat, the stainless steel interior forms the cooking surface and the magnetic exterior is selected for induction compatibility. The reference stack is a starting specification for this five-ply project; final grades, total thickness and bonded coverage must be agreed before production.
Five-ply describes the number of bonded material layers, rather than five layers of solid stainless steel. Layer count alone does not establish heating speed, heat retention or resistance to deformation. Buyers comparing this model with a three-ply range can use the 3-ply vs 5-ply cookware comparison to define matched-size sample checks for core design, weight and heat response.
Application Scenarios
This stainless steel stew pot with glass lid suits soups, vegetable stews, beans, simmered dishes and family one-pot meals. The covered format provides a different assortment role from an open frying pan or a single-handle saucepan, making it useful for retailers planning a pot-focused cookware collection.
For wholesale programs, select the diameter and depth around the intended serving size, storage space and target price position. Confirm usable capacity from the agreed drawing or physical sample rather than calculating a sales claim from the reference dimensions.
Customization Options
- Body specification: discuss casserole diameter, depth, five-ply layer arrangement, total thickness and surface finish against the project drawing.
- Handles and lid: review paired side-handle styling, glass-lid shape, stainless rim and top-handle design for a coordinated cookware collection.
- Branding: discuss laser marking, bottom logo and private label artwork, with placement confirmed on the sample.
- Packaging: specify the retail color box, inserts, barcode labels and master carton, including protection for the glass lid and side handles.
MOQ may vary with casserole size, lid, handles and packaging requirements. Samples can be discussed before bulk production; sample charges and production timing are confirmed with the quotation and order details.
Sample Approval and RFQ Checklist
- Provide the target diameter, body height and usable capacity, together with the proposed five-ply material stack and total thickness.
- Confirm bonded coverage, rim finish, base flatness and finished weight against the signed specification and sample.
- Check double-handle alignment, clearance, rivet security and two-handed carrying balance.
- Check glass-lid seating, stainless rim condition and metal loop-handle attachment, then agree the packaging protection.
- Share the order quantity, destination market, logo artwork, carton plan and any food-contact document or inspection requirements.
Use the bulk order cookware quality checklist to record these acceptance points before approving samples and bulk production.
FAQ
What does five-ply mean for GS-01801-CA?
It refers to five bonded material layers in the stated construction. The proposed reference uses stainless steel outer layers around three aluminum-based middle layers. The exact alloys, layer arrangement and extent of the bonded structure must be confirmed in the final specification; the five-ply label alone does not establish sidewall coverage.
Which sizes should buyers use when requesting a quotation?
Start with the reference diameter-and-height options in the specification table, then state the intended usable capacity and target market. These are quotation references rather than measured dimensions of the photographed pot. Final dimensions and capacity are confirmed through the agreed specification and approved sample.
Is this casserole pot suitable for induction cooktops?
The reference configuration specifies a magnetic SS430 exterior for induction, gas and electric cooktops. Confirm the final material configuration and test the sample on the intended cooktop before approving the compatibility claim for your branded product.
Can the side handles and lid be customized?
Yes. Goldensea can discuss side-handle profiles, glass-lid details, the stainless rim and top-handle styling for OEM/ODM projects. Changes are reviewed together with body dimensions, assembly, packaging and order quantity.
What should buyers check when approving a five-ply casserole sample?
Check the material stack, bonded coverage, body thickness, dimensions, base flatness and finished weight. For this double-handle glass-lid model, also check rivet security, carrying clearance, lid fit, top-handle attachment and protective packaging. Record the agreed checks in the purchase specification.
