Amazon.com Review

Cooks shopping for a midweight stainless-steel sauce pot at a mid-range price may well have found their match with this multi-functional pot from Cuisinart. The gleaming 6-quart pot is equipped to handle the most frequent cooking tasks such as simmering soups and boiling pasta. Like all of Cuisinart's Chef's Classic cookware, this pot is made of 18/10 stainless steel that has been polished to a brilliant mirror finish and that won't react to acidic foods. An inner core of aluminum ensures that foods heat quickly and evenly. The stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and the matching 18/10 mirror-polished stainless-steel lid has a dripless rim for easy pouring. All cookware in Cuisinart's Chef's Classic line is oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit and is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

This review is from: Cuisinart 766-26 Chef's Classic 12-Quart Stockpot with Cover (Kitchen)

I recently purchased this 12qt stockpot with a pasta insert and cover, and I couldn't be more pleased. The pot is beautifully made, with very confortable handles (another reviewer noted the finger grips -- a nice touch) and the lid fits perfectly.

I used it for the first time to cook 2 chickens and make stock. Both chickens fit easily in the pot, yet allowed enough space for adequate water. It was very easy to bring the pot to a boil and then reduce to a very slow simmer, just a bubble or two breaking the surface. I used the simmer burner on my gas stove, and for the first time was able to maintain a simmer with the lid tightly on. With my old stockpot (large enough for only one chicken) even with the simmer burner at the lowest setting I could not maintain a simmer with the lid tightly on the pot.

The pasta insert made it a breeze to remove the chickens when they were cooked, and reduce the stock while I picked the meat off the bones and returned the bones to the pot in the insert to cook longer, more fully flavoring the broth. Removing the insert removed the bones and other parts, making straining the stock a simple one-step process. This same process with the pasta insert will make blanching vegetables from the garden MUCH easier and faster, and I'm looking forward to freezing the veggies from next summer's garden.

The pot is weighty and solid, yet With a full pot of water I can still lift and carry it, which I could never manage with an All-Clad 12qt stockpot.

I like this pot so much I just today ordered the Chef's Classic 7 piece set with bonus 2 1/2 qt sautee pan. I can hardly wait to have a lobster feed and sacrifice some of Maine's finest lobsters in this pot, served with sides cooked up in pots from my new set. I highly reccomend this stockpot and this cookware line.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pot to Boil the Chicken.., May 12, 2006

This review is from: Cuisinart 744-24 Chef's Classic Stainless 6-Quart Sauce Pot with Lid (Kitchen)

No I don't need the huge several gallon type pot that I use to use when my family was at home, but this is just the right size to fit and boil corn, asparagus, and the chicken for soup or stew.

The handles are very comfortable and they really DON'T get hot. It, along with my other very small Cuisinart Chef pot are the only items I can ever recall that got a comment from my husband saying.. Whatever you paid for this it was worth it.

And he doesn't cook.. just puts the food away.

Cleans up well and I don't have to worry about scratching some coating or other.

I like it. It is very functional and nice looking..can't beat that.

You have to see this to understand how beautiful it is. It is a mirrored finish and you can truly see yourself in it on your stove. It just shines. The pot itself is very heavy duty and thicker than most. The lid is made of the same construction. Cuisnart is engraved on each handle and underneath the handles are impressions of fingergrips. It is very natural feeling to grip the pot. My favorite feature is the finger grips under the handle. That was a nice surprise. Also, it sets nicely on the stove. I have had some that didn't set perfect and would wobble. This is a very nice crafted stock pot. This has two and a half times the room that I am used to having. Boiling 10 lbs of potatoes for mashed potatoes will be a breeze.
