Cooks Standard 18/10 Stainless Steel Stockpot 8-Quart, Classic Deep Cooking Pot Canning Cookware with Stainless Steel Lid, Silver

I have pots that are 18/10 stainless steel that I bought 15 years ago and are still perfect and durable. This is why I bought this pot. This pot is not that. I noticed the poor quality compared to my 15 years old pots and this This pot has a ceramic coating that can be easily damaged. This ceramic coating has 1-5 year shelf-life. This makes the durability of 18/10 stainless steel POINTLESS.

Me gustó mucho , se ve de buena calidad y muy resistente

Needed a new stock pot for an induction stove and hoped this would work. It does, and very well indeed. Already used for chili and performs well on induction stovetop. It is about 9 " high and 10 1/2" inch diameter, so a good size for recipes larger than a dutch oven. Has a heavy base, and actual riveted handles, nicely shaped in a curve and easy to use, so these handles will last a long time. The lid fits well also, although I seldom use a lid for cooking. Large enough to take some jars for pickling or jam, which I also do. Overall, a good buy, and well made. Value for money!

This pot is definitely not made of thin cheap metal. It is heavy 18/10 stainless steel and looks and feels it. One of the best thing is the lid is also stainless steel, not glass. Happy Day! The lid won't break, ever. It is very shiny on the outside and Matte on the inside. It is the perfect size for a big pot of chili, goulash or jambalaya or just about anything you'd ever need a big pot for. It comes with a user manual, a big plus. It just came and I can hardly wait to cook something in it. Maybe chicken chowder...I had purchased the 8 qt pot just like this one and decided to get this smaller one for smaller jobs. They clean up well and look like new.

I'm so happy with my 12-quart Cooks Standard stock pot. It's a great price for such a surprisingly solid, heavy pot which is required for induction or radiant range cooking. I enjoy making large meals for family and friends, and this pot is reliable enough to cook low and slow to bring out the best flavor and prevent burning. It's a wonderful addition to the entire Cooks Standard set of fry pans, sauce pots and stock pots I bought on Amazon. It cleans easily with warm, soapy water, and for extra shine or to remove oil or water spots, Barkeeper's Friend keeps it beautiful. No harsh chemicals and you'll enjoy it for many years. The entire Cooks Standard brand is surprisingly affordable for such a weighty, reliable set of pots, baking, and frying pans. Highly recommended.
