I love how it looks on my stove top, the heat distribution is a major factor which delivers and totally worth it.I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a stainless steel cookware and the quality is very good.

I bought this pot to replace my previous stainless steel stock pot, and I LOVE IT. It's fairly light, but the bottom is heavy enough that it distributes heat really evenly, the handles don't get too hot, the lid fits great for long simmering, and I can just drop it in the dishwasher and it comes clean like a dream.Are there "better" stock pots out there? Yeah, probably, but for the home cook this is a great pot at a good price.

This pot is very well made just like all my other Cuisinart pots and pans. It distributes heat evenly with the heavy bottom. I have a pretty large stew pot from the set of Cuisinart pans that I already owned. This one is the perfect step in between.I have been using my set of Cuisinart for about 15 years now. Previously we had other brand name sets with Teflon that would have to be replaced in about 5 years, did not do a good sear and weren't made to go in the oven. Cast iron was not an option due to my glass top stove. I finally went for the solid stainless steel set of Cuisinart and have never regretted it. I thought that I would not like the frying pans but find that they are wonderful to use and easy to clean when you know a couple of tricks (I will share at the end.) They are excellent to sear steaks with a finish in the oven.This pot lives up to the quality of all my other Cuisinart pots and pans and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.Cleaning tips:I use my skillets to sear steaks at very high heat then do a finish in a hot oven. After I remove the steaks and they are resting, I immediately put the hot pan into the sink and add water to it. This is like adding wine to your pan to 'deglaze' only this is for cleaning purposes. Then I use the spatula to scrape any stubborn bits. Most often I can get all the bits this way. For any stubborn bits and discoloration I use soft scrub; apply and let sit a few minutes then use a scrubbie. I can get the pan clean and put away before the steaks are done resting.

I use this for everything and it still looks great and clean. Yes the handles get hot, it's stainless steel! I'm sick of teflon coming off and having to repurchase pots every few years. Stainless steel is awesome. I only use cast iron and stainless steel now for everything I do in the kitchen. There can be some staining, which is normal for any stainless steel item and usually harmless. Google for more info about types of stains. You can use certain cleaners on them like bar keeper's friend or other stainless steel ones. I have never used a special cleaner on it except for one time. It has always been pretty easy to clean, even the extra dirty times and I use a non-scratch sponge for cleaning. A few times I let it go in the dishwasher, but usually prefer to wash by hand. I came back here to buy more sizes and was surprised at the negative reviews. I specifically looked this pot up a year and a half ago, which was nearly 10 years after my uncle gifted a stainless steel frying pan. I didn't know how to use it at first, so I hated it. Then when I have had to repurchase whole sets multiple times and that stainless steel pan keeps right on surviving, I was converted. There's a learning curve to cooking with stainless steel, it is different than non-stick, so if you want amazing pots that last and don't chip crap into your food, don't forget to do some research on how to cook with stainless steel. Also, I still have and use the first stainless steel pan that I got now 12 years ago!

La compre hace 9 meses y sigue casi impecable.La uso varias veces al mes y he seguido las instrucciones que venian en la caja para su cuidado. Dado que es de acero inoxidable y aluminio, calienta bastante rápido y no sólo no es necesario usar una flama alta, no se debe de hacer.Tiene muchas reseñas malas en Amazon gringo que alertan sobre manchas negras en la base de la olla.Por el precio que pagué ($562) me parece una buena compra. Es bastante ligera y delgada comparada con otros productos de esta índole que a pesar de ser mucho más caros la calidad es superior y bastante evidente, pero si no quieres invertir en una de estas y solo quieres una simple olla para salsas, la recomiendo al 100%

I bought this pot to fill the gap between my three quart pans and my eight quart stockpot. I intended to use it primarily for boiling spaghetti, potatoes, and moderate-size batches of soup. Unfortunately, the company that made my cookware line does not carry such a pot, so I went for something similar in design and moderately priced.Pros:Quality - For the price, the quality is of the level I would expect. The steel is fairly thin at the sides of the pot, but the bottom is very sturdy and solid. It is not likely to warp or buckle due to the thick construction on the bottom of the pot. The lid fits properly. The handles are riveted securely. (In other reviews there were complaints about the rivets being obtrusive, collecting food, and tearing away. I do not find that to be true. It cleans easily and they don't protrude more than I consider reasonable. As for the rivets tearing away, I can only imagine it is a manufacturing defect and should be covered under the warranty.) It's certainly not at the level of an All Clad or Caphalon, but it's also $200-300 cheaper.Price - It is moderately priced and it won't devastate me if it wears out in 5-7 years.Design - It's a nice looking pot. I use a pot rack and so it hangs in full sight. The stainless finish is mirror clear and looks nice. It may scratch over time, but I will treat it well and it doesn't seem to be too fragile.Heat conductivity - When boiling water, it doesn't take too long. I am accustomed to using copper bottom pots and they heat quickly. This pot keeps up well.Size/Shape - When I first saw it, I was worried that it would be too shallow/wide to be a good spaghetti pot. It has proven to be perfect. I also don't have to fill it with water to get the spaghetti covered, as I would with a wider pot. And, it's also deep enough to cook enough for five people (or more, if desired).Cons:Uncovered handles - This is my chief criticism. All of my other pots and pans have covered handles that I can grab with my bare hand. These are not and they get extremely hot. Use a potholder or get a nasty burn. I would like this pot a lot better if the handles were covered.Quality - I consider it a pro when considering the price, but a con when considering the potential durability. I find myself being cautious with the pot because it doesn't feel as hearty as my other cookware. The surface is likely to scratch. It will probably dent if I drop it or bang it hard enough while washing it. That said, I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker. If I had held it in my hands before buying it, I would have still bought it.6/20/16: This pot is holding up extremely well. There are no dents and only very small scratches. It is in much better shape than I would have expected after three years. I just ordered the stock pot with the pasta strainer insert from Cuisinart as well based on my good experience with this pot.2/1/24: Still in excellent condition and holding up as well as any of my more expensive pots and pans. Definitely a good value considering its longevity.
