Amazon.com Product Description

With its flat base and tall, straight sides, this 8-quart stockpot works well for boiling water for pasta, blanching vegetables, preparing stock, or simmering soups and stews. The roomy vessel, which measures approximately 9-3/4 by 11-1/2 by 10 inches, makes a useful addition to any cookware collection. As part of Le Creuset's Enamel-on-Steel line, the pot features heavy-gauge carbon steel construction for fast heating and even heat distribution (no hot spots), along with a hard, glossy porcelain-enamel finish for both durability and eye-catching beauty on the stovetop. A stainless-steel rim around the top edge of the pot helps prevent chipping and cracking. Even more, its nonreactive interior resists flavor absorption and staining and cleans up in a snap. The cookware's loop side handles ensure a secure grip when lifting or transporting, and its tight-fitting domed lid with a stay-cool knob traps heat, moisture, and nutrients when cooking. The pot can be safely used on all stovetops, including induction, and should be hand washed only with hot soapy water and dried thoroughly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Pot for a Happy Kitchen, March 7, 2001

By 

Michela (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel 8-Quart Covered Stockpot, Red (Kitchen)

Compared to my favorite Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 8-Quart Stock Pot, the Le Creuset 8-Quart Stockpot is much lighter and easier to lift and carry when filled with liquid. This stockpot is not enamel-coated cast iron like the Le Creuset pots and pans, but the colors are identical. It heats up very quickly in comparison, too. Soups, stews, and stocks cook well in this pot because the lid is tight-fitting. I would like it for a second stock pot in this size. I like the Calphalon stock pots better because they all have pasta or steamer inserts.

The Le Creuset Red Pots are not the same cherry red like their famous heart-shaped 2-Quart Pan, but a slighter deeper shade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Culinary who can read a product description and loves good cookware!, March 4, 2006

This review is from: Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel 8-Quart Covered Stockpot, White (Kitchen)

This stock pot is enamel on steel, not cast iron, it was never meant to be. No reason for any confusion. I've had mine for 5 years, there are no chips or scratches. No matter what I've made; spaghetti sauce, posole or any kind of soup. Nothing has ever burned, nor has the enamel come away from the pot. Turn the heat down, I always get perfect results.

LeCreuset comes with a great guarantee in regards to workmanship and defects. Shame on anyone who purchases cookware in this day and age and doesn't follow up with the manufacturer when there is an issue such as some I've read above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Le Creuset stands by their product, June 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel 8-Quart Covered Stockpot, Red (Kitchen)

I bought my set at an outlet store. I bought "2nd quality" which were supposed to be cosmetic defects only. I started noticing tiny rust spots on the inferior quality products the first month.

I sent back to Le Creuset, and they sent me perfect replacements immediately.

The only negative was having to wait two weeks during the exchange.

But this has been a wonderful experience. I am very impressed with how Le Creuset stands by their products, and how helpful their staff is. I would whole-heartedly recommend Le Creuset to anyone.
