Cook N HomeStockpot Sauce Pot Casserole Pan Saucier Induction Pot With Lid Professional Stainless Steel 5 Quart, Dishwasher Safe With Stay-Cool Handles, Silver

As an avid home chef, I'm always looking for high-quality cookware that can handle large batch cooking. This 12 quart stockpot from Cook N Home definitely fits the bill! I've been really impressed by its performance.The size is absolutely massive with a 12 quart capacity. I've used it for big batches of soups, stews, stocks, boiling pasta, and more. It's big enough to can tomatoes or make huge vats of sauce. Yet the overall stockpot is still a manageable size and weight when full.The stainless steel construction feels extremely sturdy and durable. It has an attractive high polished mirror finish. I also really like the thick aluminum disc layered in the bottom which provides excellent heat conduction and prevents hot spots.The pot heats up quickly and evenly thanks to the tri-ply stainless/aluminum/stainless body. It works great on all cooking surfaces including induction cooktops. I've even used it in the oven without issues since it's oven safe.The snug-fitting vented glass lid is a nice bonus to lock in heat and moisture. The loop handles are designed to stay cool which is helpful when pulling the heavy pot on and off the stovetop. I still use potholders out of habit.My only minor complaint is the pot itself can get a bit heavy when full of liquid or food. But that's to be expected for a stockpot this size.Cleaning is easy - foods don't stick too badly and a little Bar Keeper's Friend keeps the exterior shiny. It's also dishwasher safe which is convenient for such a large pot.Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this Cook N Home stockpot! The quality, size and performance are excellent for the price. If you need a big, sturdy stockpot for larger quantity cooking, I highly recommend giving this one a look.

I just received this pot to replace a decades old pot that finally gave up. One of the reasons I purchased this pot was based on previous reviews that praised it’s quality for the price. I have to agree, this pot seems well crafted. Tight riveting, quality vented glass lid. I like that this top fits into the pot rather then over the pot like most other pans. This pot is slightly narrower and slightly taller then my original pot (both 5 qt) which is great because it is a better fit on my gas stove. The base is pretty thick. The pot has a nice heft to it giving it a feel of quality without being to heavy. The base rests well on my cast iron grates and resists sliding when carefully stirring contents, so by way of pots, the bottom isn’t slippery. Which I like. The handles are well attached. The rubber grips resist heat but don’t eliminate it. I carefully poured boiling water from pot to sink (kill the fruit flies) without using oven mitts. It was warm but certainly not like the red hot handles I was used to. Which is good, no actually it’s great! Nevertheless, I’ll continue to use oven mitts (mostly). So as to longevity, my old pot was about 20+ years old. That’s hard to beat. I’ll likely never know if this pot will last as long but first impressions are very good. Based on decades of cooking experience I highly recommend this pot. Have fun with it.

Really nice looking. Durable, heavyweight. Makes a nice affordable, practical gift to someone starting out or treat yourself to a multi use 8 quart pot with lid. Recommended. Well packed too, super speedy delivery.

This LARGE pot was maybe just a bit bigger (1/4" larger in diameter) than my biggest induction burner, but the huge capacity was perfect for my needs. I honestly was expecting something of lesser quality than the price suggested. The quality was clearly there (my other pots are All-Clad D3, Le Creuset, Staub). The polish, weight and fit of the lid were perfect, and the glass lid unexpectedly fit my huge all-clad saute pan, woo-hoo!. The handles were not as heavy duty as my other brands, but definitely enough to handle the load full pot. It heated at a reasonable speed on my induction burners (not like a single thickness pot--which would translate into scorching) and transferred the heat evenly to the contents based on my observations. I needed something huge for VERY occasional use, and did not want to invest in my usual brands, so this was PERFECT. I was willing to settle a bit b/c my use for this was infrequent, but I am truly pleased with this choice. The only negative I can think of (and it's a small one overall) is that on the OUTSIDE of the pot where the sides turn into the bottom, there is a small ridge--maybe a millimeter or two. This might mean a sauce dripping down the sides could catch there and take an extra minute to clean, but sauce dripping all the way down such a TALL pot unnoticed seems like a rare occurrence to me... I hope this review helps you make up your mind, and I hope you write up your discoveries too--it helps us all.

I made a double batch of bread & butter pickles yesterday and this was the first time using it to sterilize the bottles and then give them a water bath when full. It was so much better than my old one that I must have bought 50 years ago! Seriously. I'm 75. I took my old one to Good Will last year because it was meant to use on a wood burning stove. Much too big for today's stoves. The only issue I had with it, was when I went to wash it this morning. There were these spots of hard stuff at the water line. The water had boiled for quite a long time. All I can think is that it was the nonstick coating. I had to use Goo Gone to get rid of it, which was a little disappointing. Somehow, It also got dented on the bottom rim. I don't recall hitting it on anything. All in all I am pleased but at the same time a little disappointed to have a dent after only using it once.

The pot itself is well made and sturdy. The glass lid seems thin, so I haven't used it as i had a better lid that fits well. The instructions say not to use metal utensils as it scratches the SS surface. No rust thus far so I'm hopeful it won't rust in the future. This isn't my Nonna's Italian pot by any stretch, but it is well made and the price was under $50. I would purchase this again if need be.

Muy buena calidad ya la estrené y la cocción es más rápida que con mis otras ollas y se limpia fácilmente. Mantiene lo caliente más tiempo, es decir yo apago mi comida 15 minutos antes y sigue cociéndose por ese tiempo y calienta mucho más rápido de inicio.

Me ha servido mucho ha sido de muy buena calidad

Me encanta, el tamaño es perfecto y la calidad muy buena.

Es enooooorme! Verdaderamente, no me imaginaba que fuera tan grande incluso sabiendo las dimensiones. Se me hace un excelente producto, de mucha calidad para el precio. Muy bonita! Lo único de tener cuidado es, si ocupas sal de grano, disolverla inmediatamente porque si no, mancha la olla. Fuera de eso, estoy muy contento con la compra

Tiene un excelente acabado, el material es de alta calidad y de un diseño eleganteFuncional y resistente
