5.0 out of 5 stars A great item at a reasonable price, April 28, 2008

This review is from: Emerilware Stainless 6-Quart Tall Stock Pot with Lid (Kitchen)

I decided it was time for a decent quality stock pot for our kitchen, so I started my search at America's Test Kitchen, as I find their reviews pretty trustworthy. Their top-rated stock pot, an All-Clad, was about $300, which drew a "you've got to be kidding" response from me. They are clearly prouder of manufacturing their stock pot than I would be of owning one. Two reasonably priced pots were rated slightly lower at ATK, but further review of consumer comments of these products (mostly here at Amazon) included some negative opinions that concerned me. I saw the Emerilware at a store (it had not been reviewed by ATK) and, based on the criteria contained in the ATK reviews and the consumer comments, it seemed like a winner. After several weeks of using this pot, it is definitely a great addition to my kitchen.

My criteria for this pot were: stainless steel, some type of even-heating feature (e.g., tri-ply, aluminum core bottom), and it had to fit in my dishwasher (sales people at the stores I went to gave me an odd look when I would whip out my tape measure).

The Emerilware stock pot fits all the criteria. It is high quality stainless steel, has a copper-aluminum-stainless steel sandwich bottom, and the 6 quart model fits easily in my dishwasher.

Here's some additional things to like. The tempered glass lid is self-basting and allows you to see what is happening in the pot. I've used it in the oven with no problems. The pot heats evenly and quickly, with no hot spots and thus no tendency to burn. Clean up is very easy, even when I hand wash it instead of throwing it in the dishwasher. The handles are set high on the pot, so if a leak develops around a rivet it shouldn't be a problem (one consumer reviewer mentioned this problem with another manufacturer). The handles are quite large and comfortable, making the pot easy to handle (a feature considered in the ATK reviews). The rivets are a reasonable size and don't have prominent lips, so they aren't prone to collecting food or soap residue (mentioned by another reviewer of a different manufacturer). It is made by All-Clad (actually for All-Clad in China), a respected company and it has a lifetime warranty. The steel gleams and it just looks nice sitting there on the stove.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a quality, moderately priced stock pot, this one should definitely be on your short list. I am absolutely happy with mine!

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't match older Emerilware, December 18, 2010

This pot is OK, but it is not as nicely made as our older Emerilware. It doesn't have the thick copper lamination in the bottom. The handles appear to be cheap stamped steel instead of the thicker, larger handles on the older pots. Cheaply made given the relatively high price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pot, December 30, 2009

Beautiful looking pot impressed with looks and performance

Its
Perfectly proportioned
Not to heavy
Beautiful looking, shiny, nice handles, body and lid
Makes a killer chicken stock
Even though the walls are thin on this they heat up nicely


The thick walled pots are just too heavy and discouraging for cooking for me, this performs perfectly for stock making, making the most delicious stock I've ever had.
