Avoid this pot at all costs

February 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

If I could give this pot zero stars, I would. After only three uses for soups and stocks, the rivets on the inside of the pot corroded and pitted, and turned a lighter shade than the other metal. It is clearly aluminum or an alloy, and not stainless. This pot has never been in my dishwasher (it's too big to fit even if I wanted to.) Now I'm worried I've sickened guests with leached metals. Don't buy this piece of junk. It is poor craftsmanship. All the steel on the body won't do any good if it's not steel at critical rivet points also.

Great pot for making soups/stocks

December 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

Wow...what an excellent pot and value for the price. I just made turkey soup and couldn't be more pleased using this pot. I was able to get so much of the "bird" into this pot (which was a problem with smaller pots that came with my pot set). Adding the veggies/herbs was easy this time without getting near to the top of the pot. This pot quickly boiled, and was easy to have on 'simmer' for hours. The cover was very snug, which can be a problem with lesser pot brands. I made "twice" the amount of turkey broth as I've made in past with smaller pots, which is exactly why I purchased this pot. This pot fit on the gas burners easily (not too high, not too wide, just right size). I would recommend this pot in an instant to anyone who wishes to make soup/stocks, etc. I cannot wait to use it for so many of my soups that just seem to get too near the top of pot when I want to add more veggies, etc. than the recipe lists. Again, you won't be disappointed if you purchase this pot. I was pleased to list this review as I am quite happy with my purchase and use of this pot.

I love this pot

April 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

Intiially, I love this pot. I love the size for big pots of soup, making home made stock, etc. I like the appearance, lid, and feel of it, too. However, less than 2 years after I purchased this pot, it cracked in parallel lines in two places. One set of cracks are bordering one of the handle rivets. The other is a few inches away. The pot was not dropped or mishandled in any other way. I'm very disappointed in this. Buyer beware!

This works great. The pot is durable

January 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This works great. The pot is durable, looks sleek, and as someone who does plenty of home cooking, my big pot can handle pretty much any job I throw at it. I've read a few other reviews about burning foods and rusting , but I've never had neither problem. Then again, I don't blindly follow recipe instructions like: "set heat to high," and instead note what I need the high heat for, like boiling. part of being a good cook is developing a sense of judgement and skills. for example, I can boil water here on medium, maybe medium high heat. speaking of that, the instruction pamphlet clearly states important things like not going too high with the heat, this thing heats up fast. I love this thing, and if you can be bothered to use it with skill and take care of it, I think you will, too.

A beautiful and practical stock pot.

October 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

This stock pot is a perfect size for us at home. It is large enough to make plenty of stock and still fit in my sink to be washed by hand. The design is classic with just enough curvature to accent the look and add to function. The lid fits perfectly aligned. I only wish the walls were a millimeter or two thicker.

my long search is over

I love this 12 qt pot. I read lots of reviews on lots of websites before I chose this one. It fits perfectly on the large size burner on my glass top stove. It arrived in time to do my fall canning. My 10 1/4 " canning rack fits perfectly. It is deep enough for pint size jars for water bath canning. My canning rack sits kinda high and I cant fit quart jars in it. Now I want another one - maybe the 8 qt size to cook the jams and for smaller batches of stews etc. The handles make it easy to pick up and pour. They don't seem to get excessively hot. The lid fits very well; I haven't had any problems with the lid popping up and spitting out steam or water. Its also a shiny, pretty pot. My husband even remarked that it was a great looking pot.

Happy Person

The dimensions listed are WRONG - by several inches

July 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

I purchased this pot to use as a water bath canner. Based on the dimensions listed: (Product Dimensions: 13.8 x 11.4 x 9.6 inches ; 3 pounds) it was plenty big enough for my quart size jars to sit in the pan plus allow for an extra 2" of water on top of the jars as is needed in canning.

Well - the dimensions are NOT accurate. The pan is 8.5" high - from the bottom of the pan to the top. The 13.8" dimension is the height of the BOX the pan came in, not the pan itself! The width is 10" NOT 11.4 (no idea where 11.4 came from) and the bottom dimension is correct 9.5" (they list 9.6").

Given that the pan is FIVE INCHES SHORTER than the dimensions given, it is not tall enough for my jars and has to go back. Problem is, I dont trust buying another pan from Amazon because apparently they use the box dimensions, not he pan dimensions so there's no way to know the 'actual' size you'll get.

Very frustrating.

An excellent pot! Fanastic value for high quality. LOVE it!

March 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

I was super torn on which fancy pants soup pot to get myself. This? Or fork over mega bucks for all-clad?People rave and rave about the superb quality of all-clad for heat distribution. Would this pot bottom be thick enough, I wondered? Time to ask MOM! She has both brands, guess the cooking obsession runs in our family. She claimed that this pot was excellent and worked fantastically well even compared to her fancier all clad pots. So I ordered it....lucky me it was on sale for $40! This pot is EXCELLENT. Super sturdy, but not too heavy. I love the look of the heavy duty rivets and I don't really understand why people gripe about them. Food does not get caught...they're rivets, not nail heads! I cook on a gas range and I like to carmelize my onions in the soup pot. This pot distributed the heat excellently. No burning or scorching. I have yet to make my moroccan lamb stew which does require the meat to be seared in advance. This will be a good test to see how effective this pot is at heat distribution. So far though, I'm thrilled that I didn't spend five times as much on something that would function the same!

Poor quality - disintegrating handle rivets.

DO NOT BUY!! This pot is used for boiling water only. The inside rivets holding the handles on the pot are slowly disintegrating. Is this a health hazard?Read more

I guess for the price it's worth it as the build quality seems to be pretty good.

The very bottom of the post that makes contact with the burners is separately attached to the rest of the pot. This part can detach under certain rare circumstances.Read more
