From lid to handle to base, each piece of Infinite Circulon cookware is geared for optimal performance in the kitchen--so home chefs can focus on the art of cooking, not the science. The hard-anodized aluminum bodies and stainless-steel bases with encapsulated aluminum cores offer the dual advantages of rapid, even heating and superior durability. Circulon's TOTAL nonstick system (rated the longest wearing by independent lab tests) features an all-over nonstick coating and a Hi-Low ring design that heats food over the entire cooking surface, but reduces abrasion by allowing only a portion of food and utensils to touch. Also, unlike most nonstick pans, Infinite goes right into the dishwasher so cleanup is a breeze.
This roomy 7-quart covered straining stockpot has high, straight sides and stay-cool loop handles made of cast stainless steel and riveted for extra strength. Nestling snugly onto the rim, the matching stainless-steel lid locks into place and features large and small holes on either side to drain off liquids. The deep charcoal grey and bright mirror-polish combination looks sleekly professional yet stylish enough to bring to the table for serving. The stockpot is oven-safe to 500 degrees F and can be used on all stovetops. Hard-anodized aluminum also doesn't chip, stain, or scratch, so the aptly named Infinite will keep its good looks for many years to come. It is backed with a limited lifetime warranty. --Kara Karll

Best pasta cooking pot I've ever owned!,
By
This review is from: Circulon Infinite Circulon 7-Quart Covered Locking Straining Stockpot (Kitchen)
I have two smaller Circulon straining pots, from the "Circulon 2" family. I use them every day, literally, but always have to be mindful of the lids as they do not properly lock. I discovered this the first day, when I dumped my spaghetti into the sink while attempting to strain it. After that, I wore an oven glove to hold the lid on (Circulon recommended not tipping that pot more than 45 degrees to strain, which was ridiculous - that seemed like an afterthought meant to cover their butts. That would've left half the water in the pot, which would have defeated the purpose of having a straining saucepan!).
With this pot, you don't have to do that. It locks the way it's supposed to. The pot feels sturdy enough, though I expected the lid to be "heavier". It doesn't need to be, though. It works beautifully the way it is and is not flimsy in any way. The pot is a good size for family-sized pasta meals, and is so much easier to use and less awkward than pasta pots that come with the insert. And it's so much better than having a colander sit in the sink and dumping the whole pot into it, which allows the dirty water in the drain to back up into the sink and make contact with the pasta. Yuk. This pot is also great for cooking quantities of sauce, too. The lid allows the steam to vent without splatter going everywhere. I use this pot for much more than pasta and sauce, however. It's great for cooking up a pot of soup in the winter, which is something I do a lot, or a pot of beans. And it's fantastic for making rice pudding on the stovetop because it's non-stick. You can use it for virtually anything. If you don't need venting for a particular dish, lay a piece of foil across the top before setting the lid on top. I was so impressed with this pot, I bought one for each of my three daughters!

Simply Great, Affordable, Home Cookware - Highly Recommended!,
By C. F. Hill "CFH" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Circulon Infinite Circulon 7-Quart Covered Locking Straining Stockpot (Kitchen)
We decided on the Cirulon Infinite cookware after looking at a lot of other brands. The quality and versatility makes this affordable (a relative term, I know) line of cookware a great value. After 6 months of heavy use, we are more than pleased with the durability and performance.
* Vented Lid - Makes draining easy * Very Thick Bottoms - Allows for even heating of cooking surface * Great Nonstick Surface - Really nonstick, no issues at all - DO NOT use nonstick sprays or "heavy oils" as these will ruin the nonstick properties (read the instructions)! * Requires Less Oils - We were able to cut way back on the amount of cooking oils we use * Durable * Oven Safe * Dishwasher Safe *Important* Follow the manufactures instructions and you will have great results. Highly Recommended!

Strong, nonstick stockpot with strainer lid,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Circulon Infinite Circulon 7-Quart Covered Locking Straining Stockpot (Kitchen)
This sturdy Circulon stockpot benefits from a locking strainer lid, which is most helpful. The stockpot is quite heavy, has sturdy handles, and can be washed in the dishwasher. It is large enough to be functional, but is not a huge stockpot. The nonstick surface makes cooking and cleaning easier. A fine product, and recommended.
