Abstract: The invention is drawn to a double-walled cooking pot having an outer pot, and an inner pot arranged in said outer pot and having a side wall defining a continuous inner surface to receive the product to be cooked. The side walls of the outer pot and inner pot are connected to one another at their bottom portions by a bottom plate made of thermally conductive material and at their upper portions in a manner which forms a discharge rim. To provide a double-walled cooking pot in which it is possible to fasten rapidly and reliably the handle(s) to the side wall of the outer pot, it is provided in essence that the outer pot has a portion that is spaced from the inner pot; and, between the upper and bottom portions at which the inner and outer pots are connected, the side walls of the inner pot and the outer pot make only point or line contact with one another.
