I bought this pot and had used it for chicken soup and chili. It stays boiling after I turned the heat down and will not boil over so it's perfect for braising and stewing.

I've also used it to brown food on the stove top then put in the oven for baking. Everytime it gives great performance. I also love the see-through glass lid. We are very pleased with this pot and use it often.

Highly recommended.

Bought this stockpot with a lot of expectations. I used it for the first time to make soup, and there were scratches all over the bottom. I even used a wooden ladle instead of a metal utensil. I expect quality from Cuisinart cookware and also from quantanium non-stick coatings. I also expected it to be heavier.

Hey, I know it sounds weird to review a pot (I mean it's a pot, right?) but it is a good one. Nothing sticks, we can clean it and still have time to have a life and it boils water turned to medium because, well, who knows? but it somehow conducts heat and works great to get the job done FAST. That's important because I work as a professor and a therapist and a mom of a teen who runs cross country (and eats more pasta than a stereotype) and a toddler (who eats and throws more pasta than his brother) so fast and efficient get high scores at our house.

The first one that I received leaked where the handle was riveted. Amazon was great about replacing it with free shipping. The replacement's bottom is not level so it rocks on the burner. I also found that it's very light in weight....aaargh!

The only thing I want to mention is that this pot was accidentally put in the dishwasher, and it turned the surface whitish. I don't think it ruined the non-stick surface, but it should not be placed in the dishwasher.

Very stylish and great to cook with. For the price, you can't beat it!

The only thing this pot is good for is boiling water. Anything you try to cook in it will scorch unless you watch it like a hawk. It is too thin to heat evenly so it has a hot spot right in the center where the burner/gas flame is hottest.

I received this pot as part of a set and I really love it! I use it all the time for soups and pasta and beans. Very good quality and so easy to clean!

This thing is the perfect. Great size, good quality, heat seems to radiate evenly through this pot very well. I love it! Only thing is, I will only hand wash, not going to take any chances on ruining this because I was too lazy to wash it, not that I think it would, just want to be safe. If your need a pot for chili or soups than this is for you.

We had purchased the 18" Saute Pan from this series earlier in the year for another Cuisinart pan. We love it. The care of this series is wonderful, I have not been able to get anything that will stick to the surface, no matter how long I forget that something is on the stove. The heat distribution is terrific as well, even if the pan is half off the burner. I am assuming we will enjoy this pan as much.
