Rediscover the Heart of Traditional Cooking
As a passionate home cook who believes the best meals come from time-tested cookware, I know that some pots are more than just vessels—they're part of a tradition. The caldero is the soul of the Latin kitchen, and the IMUSA Cast Aluminum Caldero set is the perfect way to bring that authentic flavor and cooking experience into your home. For years, these pots have been the secret to perfectly fluffy rice, tender beans, and deeply flavorful stews in kitchens around the world.
Unlike heavy cast iron which requires meticulous care, or modern non-stick pans with coatings that can scratch and degrade, the IMUSA caldero offers the best of all worlds. The cast aluminum body is surprisingly lightweight, making it a joy to handle, yet it's incredibly durable and provides heating capabilities that rival the competition. It heats up quickly and, more importantly, distributes that heat evenly across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots and ensuring your food cooks perfectly every time.
A Size for Every Occasion
This isn't just one pot; it's a complete cooking system. The set includes three essential sizes to handle any task in your kitchen:
- 1.5-Quart (18cm): Perfect for toasting spices, making a side of rice, or simmering a savory sauce.
- 3.5-Quart (24cm): The ideal workhorse for daily meals, from soups and braised chicken to family-sized portions of rice and beans.
- 7.0-Quart (30cm): Your go-to for entertaining. Easily handles large batches of sancocho, chili, or pulled pork for a crowd.
Each caldero comes with a high-quality glass lid, allowing you to monitor your cooking without letting heat and moisture escape. The secure fit locks in flavor for truly delicious results.

What Our Customers Say
★★★★★ - Just like Abuela's!
This is just like the caldero my abuela used! The rice comes out perfect every single time, it never sticks. Having three sizes is so convenient for everything from a quick sauce to a big sancocho for the family. Love it!
- Maria R.
★★★★☆ - Great Lightweight Alternative
Excellent cookware set for the price. They heat up way faster than my heavy cast iron dutch ovens and are so much easier to handle and clean. My only small issue is that the handles can get hot, but that's expected. Overall, a great buy.
- Tom G.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a caldero and how is it different from a regular pot?
A caldero is a traditional cooking pot from Latin America, similar to a Dutch oven. Its rounded sides and tight-fitting lid are designed for slow-cooking methods like simmering and braising. The cast aluminum construction of IMUSA calderos allows for even and rapid heat distribution, which is ideal for cooking fluffy rice and tender meats.
Is cast aluminum cookware safe?
Yes, cast aluminum is a safe and durable material for cookware. The IMUSA calderos have a natural, non-stick surface that develops with seasoning and proper care, and they do not have artificial coatings.
Can these pots be used on an induction stove?
No, this specific cast aluminum caldero set is not compatible with induction stovetops. It is designed for use on gas and electric ranges.
How do I season my caldero?
To season your caldero, wash it with mild soap and dry it completely. Then, rub a thin layer of cooking oil on the entire interior surface. Place it on the stove over medium-low heat for about 20-30 minutes. Let it cool, wipe out any excess oil, and it's ready to use. Regular use will continue to build up the seasoning.
