I have been an enthusiastic cook for 45 years and have a passion for kitchen gadgets, cookware, dishes, etc. I have owned several sets of pots over the years, each set nicer than the last. This pot was purchased because of the weight, the thick bottom and the material used in production to make it non-stick. It was also reduced on a special sale at a small kitchen shop in Shreveport, LA. It surprised me with waterless cooking! Very easy cleaning! Very even cooking! Set on low heat it is better than the slow cooker that I was contemplating purchasing! Even fresh okra did not stick! It is my first Berndes piece but won't be my last. I have used it to cook large quantities and even for very small quantities because I don't want to use any other pot! The fact that it is wide and the sides are low lends opportunities for easy frying which cannot easily be accomplished in any other 7 quart pot! At first I didn't like the idea of glass cover, but being able to see into the pot as food cooks is a big bonus. I recently purchased the Berndes 4.25 qt. sauteuse pot and expect the same thrill when using it. You won't be disappointed!

I have this pot and it is like butta. It cooks everything so nice and evenly. Cleans off without any effort-- if food is dried on, fill with hot water and way before it's cool, the food is off- no scrubbing, barely any need for a sponge. I highly recommend this product for everything from frying eggs/bacon to curries and soups, it does it all, with style. Mine is blue, so there must be other colors out there. . .

I bought this as a gift for my dad at least 5 years ago and he LOVES it! He uses it almost every day and every time I visit he makes a point of telling me it's the best piece of cookware he's ever owned. After much, much use it is still in great condition and cooks evenly, and bonus it can be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning! All around a great purchase.
