Great pot in a useful size.
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.

Looks great on your stovetop!
I bought this 6QT CUISINART stock pot to replace my burned Le Creuset stock pot.This Cuisinart stock pot is a game changer for me . 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 youâre looking for a stainless steel cookware and the quality is very good.

My Go-To Pot!
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!

Not very tall
It’s a nice pot, but at 6″ tall, is too short to really be a stockpot. There is an item on the manufacturer’s website with the same name that is taller. Based on the name, I thought this was the same item, but was disappointed to receive and see that it was not.

Stay away
Update:Like others, I have only boiled salted water in this pot, and it has developed black spots inside the pot. It’s going back!Original review:When we got it I was concerned about the thinness of the sidewalls of the pot. Others have mentioned splitting occurring. So far I’ve only boiled salted water in it, and no problems yet.This pot took 5 minutes to boil 2 quarts of salted water on our induction cooktop. Our Mueller cast iron pot took 5:45 to do the same.

Ya la use para hacer enhiladas verdes y me gusto mucho como como se coció la salsa, quedo muy rica!!!
Todo lo compro aquà –
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 Ãndole 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%
