It's absolutely my favorite pot!, November 21, 2003
I purchased this stockpot on a pre-order basis. I'd almost forgotten about it since there was a pretty long lag between ordering and shipping. In September, just as promised, the pot arrived.When I opened the box and felt the wonderful finish for the first time, I was hooked. In terms of the sensual, this is the smoothest, nicest feeling piece of cookware I own. Visually, this piece is a treat. I love the way the brand name is visible on it's side. The fine reputation of this company appeals to the snob in me, and the signature on the pot says I have good taste in cookware. Yes, this is a bit of a joke, but not entirely. I was amazed at how FAST water boils in this pot! Incredible! And the ease of cleaning is fantastic! All stainless steel does in fact get marks and stains, but the finish is so good on this piece, I simply wash and dry it, and put a tablespoon or two of white vinegar in it after cleaning, put the lid on, let it sit overnight, then rinse and dry. Perfect! No harsh chemicals, no scratchy cleansers.... This technique does not work on my other stainless steel. The pot is heavy, something I like in cookware. It has well designed handles that really do stay cool. It serves it's purpose magnificently. It heats evenly, and I assume this is due to the aluminum bottom. I searched for a long time to find a pot of this size by the way. Five quarts is so perfect for s single person household, yet for some reason, stockpots of this size are scarce as hen's teeth it seems. I love this pot! It has me convinced that I want a teakettle made by these people. Thank you Cuisinart for such a beautiful product!
