This pot is the perfect size for a standard soup recipe. I have the Dutch oven and the 6-qt stock pot as well, but I still wanted this pot. I have not been disappointed. I like the taller shape; it jut feels more like a soup pot to me (I understand this is completely subjective.)

All-Clad Stainless is my favorite line of cookware. The clad technology means even heat conduction and it works on induction cookware. An extra bonus for me is the easy clean up -- throw it in the dishwasher. Whne necesary, polish with a Bar Keeper's Friend and it will look like new forever.

If you are choosing between this and a Dutch oven, go with the Dutch oven because the shape is more versatile. This pot is not a must-have, but a great have if you make a lot of soup and are looking for an addition to your All-Clad set.

Top notch quality and finish. Heats quickly and evenly.4qt. size is a nice filler between sauce pans and stock pots. The two short handles make it easier to manage than a long single one. Couldn't be happier.

I've been eyeing this pot for several months now. I've wanted this exact style and size for a long time and the price was the only thing that kept me from getting it sooner. A couple of weeks ago I found a `used' one on Amazon Marketplace and the info read, "Like new condition" (also it was about $30.00 cheaper). I'm familiar with All Clad's quality and was pretty sure that the pot would be in good condition so I made the purchase. Wow, I lucked out big time! It was still in the original box and I swear the pot hasn't been used even once! Looks brand new and perfect!

I can already tell that this is going to be a real work horse among my cookware. I really wanted this size to cook that big batch of holiday potatoes for the gatherings but I can see that it's also going to be my go-to pot for everything from spaghetti sauce to collard greens. I plan to keep adding a piece or two of All Clad to my collection each year until my set is complete because I know that when it is, it will be the last set of cookware I'll ever need to buy!

I highly recommend this pot, it is an excellent size and excellent brand. I would also recommend getting other pots by this brand. They may be pricey, but I know people who have these pots for over 30 years!

Heavy cast or rolled aluminum is the optimum material for pots and pans. Based on this fact, Magnalite cast aluminum gourmet cookware was the best you could get from about the 1950's through the '70's. However, there are some problems with aluminum as a cooking surface. Some foods react with it and cause discoloration; it's hard to clean, a fact that became glaringly obvious with the advent of non-stick surfaces. And there have been reported health issues related to cooking food in contact with aluminum (experts currently assess the risks as insignificant).

All-Clad is the heir apparent to the position of "creme de la creme" among cookware. The inner layer of metal is aluminum to evenly conduct heat throughout the pan. The cooking surface is stainless steel, the ideal surface because it is non-reactive, easy cleaning, and more durable than nonstick compounds. All Clad offers a variety of exterior finishes to suit your taste. Finally, this line is WELL BUILT. It will outlast anything else in the kitchen.

This may be the most expensive cookware but it's also the best. For a person who doesn't have the physical strength to handle very heavy cookware, this may not be a good choice. For anyone else who is willing to pay for it, this is what you want to cook with.

No doubt that All-Clad makes an excellent product. This casserole pan is a nice size and lives up to all expectations for stainless clad cookware. It looks great and cooks evenly with no hot spots; cleanup is easy. For versatility, I would choose a 4 or 5 qt LeCreuset dutch oven instead...but if money is no object then I suggest getting them both! This pan is recommended.
