Amazon.com Review

For chefs who prefer nonstick cookware, Scanpan makes an excellent and long-lasting choice. The coating is sturdy enough for use with metal utensils and generally wipes clean with little scrubbing necessary. A steel wool pad is included for cleaning up those stickier dishes, such as caramelized onions--but don't try it on other nonstick coatings! Of medium weight, this 6 1/2-quart dutch oven is excellent for large stews or soups: just brown meats on the stovetop and then pop directly in the oven to finish the job. The makers are confident enough to offer a lifetime warranty on the coating, which is pretty surprising for a nonstick. A thick, flat bottom and heat-resistant handles ensure you'll have no hot spots or burned fingers, making cooking with this Dutch oven a pleasure. --Jill Lightner

Product Description

This covered stock pot has a thick base, which allows you to cook your food in an evenly heated pan with less heat than a thinner base would permit. Other features include a heat-tempered glass lid, a heat-resistant handle, and a nonstick Ceramic Titanium interior surface that is safe for use with metal utensils and won't crack, peel, or blister. The stock pot is oven-safe to 500 degrees.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best single pan for the family on the go, November 15, 2000

This review is from: Scanpan Classic 6.5 Quart Covered Dutch Oven (Kitchen)

If you could own only one of the ScanPan products, this is the one to have! We use this pan to cook soups and stews, stir-fry meats and vegetables and even to bake in. It's large enough to cook a meal for a family yet still light enough to handle easily. Its high sides allow you to stir-fry or deep-fry without the oil spitting all over the range-top. The ScanPan non-stick coating is a wonderful material. Almost everything just rinses off it. More tenacious materials, like burned-on gravy from beef stew, can usually be removed simply by soaking overnight, with a quick handwash in the morning. If all else fails the factory-supplied steel wool will polish it right up! We cook in one of these pans almost every day and love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A basic for everyday use, February 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Scanpan Classic 3-1/4-Quart Covered Stock Pot (Kitchen)

I LOVE this pot! It's just the right size for so many tasks, and with 2 stay-cool handles it's easy on the wrists, secure to move to sink or elsewhere, and takes less room on the stove than a typical large saucepan with a long handle.

For boiling smaller quantities of pasta, I find this pot ideal: it pours easily and comfortably into a colander, and the nonstick surface cleans up without a hitch (i.e., no left-behind sticky gluten that's hard to get off).

A BIG added bonus: as well as fitting the Scanpan 8" frypan, the lid also fits perfectly on the 8" omelet pan that tops the LeCreuset 2-qt multifunction pan.

In addition to this pot, other Scanpan pieces are "naturals" because of their ability to tolerate high heat and metal utensils: the wok, the grill pan, and the rectangular roaster.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't use too much heat with it!, February 6, 2005

By 

Chris007 "Chris" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

We are on our second pot and the same problem has occured -- the nonstick has bubbled out all round, close to the bottom. When we took the first one back to the shop because a small piece of the nonstick had completely peeled off, the manager told us that we must have used a metal implement and scratched it (not true). They replaced the first one, but refuse to take the second back saying we must have used too much heat. Apparently, it is important to gently introduce the pot to heat everytime you use it.
