This review is from: Cuisinart 656-28 Chef's Classic Hard-Anodized 12-Quart Stockpot with Lid (Kitchen)

I've used the stockpot for the past 6 months and I've found it to be a great piece of cookware. The construction is solid and so far, nothing has stuck to the inside. The pot is great not just for pasta but also for pot roasts and making soup for large numbers of people.

At around $30, this pot is also a steal. Nothing else on Amazon or in stores - even discounters such as Walmart - has anything comparable. If you are looking for a good, large stockpot, then this is it.

The person who gave this product one star and ranted about how it "rusted" after one use... honestly, that cannot have been this stockpot. This thing is professional quality. I'm a working chef and have a great appreciation for well-crafted kitchen tools. A good, large stockpot is vital for any serious cook, and Cuisinart's 12-quart offering here fills the bill very nicely. The heat transfer is excellent and seems to be very even. Even at my altitude (near Denver, CO), I had no problems getting six quarts of water to a rolling boil in this thing, and at 5,600 feet, that's saying something. The pot is about 8" high (excluding the lid), and 12" in diameter. It's a generously sized stockpot, more than enough for almost all the cooking you'd want to do in it. I got mine on one of Amazon's crazy 12-hour sales or something, and it was ridiculously cheap. Even at $30, this thing would be a bargain.

Tough, durable and the non-stick surface is great. We bought this for our large party recipes, especially our 6-quart chili recipe. Everything cooks evenly, doesn't burn, doesn't stick, and cleanup is simple. Highly recommend this cookware
