Fantastic bargain. These work great with induction stove-tops.

I bought 2 of these for my induction stove-top. They aren't quite as heavy and solid as the sauce-pans and fry pans made by the same company (Cooks Standard), but they're great nonetheless. The bottoms are very flat which is essential for a glass-top range, and the bottom is thick and heavy too. The lids are wonderful. Not only are they see-through, but they have a little vent for steam to escape so they aren't boiling over so badly. You can pay 10 times the price for an All-Clad pot like this. I think this one is just as good. It should last a lifetime. This was an incredible deal!

GOOD QUALITY POT!

You cannot beat the quality of this pot for the money. I cyber shopped on Amazon, HSN, QVC, and checked out all the name brands and purchased this on Amazon. This had better reviews than the “name brand” pots and cost much less. I love the vented lid which prevents boil overs and the 18/10 stainless cannot be beat. It has good weight, and is easy to clean. I like that you don’t need to cook on high heat at all. Great pot!

Excellent buy. Same 18/10 stainless steel as All-Clad.

I purchased the 7 quart pot and have no complaints whatsoever. The construction is sturdy, the heating surface is even, and the handles stay cool. This has gotten daily use during the four months that I've owned it so far and it's performance has been excellent. I've used it to sear, braise, saute, boil, etc. For those who aren't aware, this isn't a non-stick surface - which means it's excellent for browning meats and vegetables and creating a fond. It's 18/10 stainless steel - the same quality of steel used by All-Clad. This means it's equally resistant to corrosion as your typical $200+ version. It's not impervious of course, as stainless steel does react to acids and salt to a low degree. As a result, I care for my pan by: - not using it for storing cooked foods (as they typically have salt/acid in them) - washing and drying it shortly after use (never putting cold water on a hot pan, which can cause warping) - choosing a different pot if i'm going to be cooking something with salt/acid for an extended period of time (I use a crock pot for slow cooking) - cleaning it with a non-scratch pad (and baking soda, if I need to remove burned food) To be clear: this pot doesn't have the same construction as an All-Clad pot. All-Clad has multiple "sandwiched" layers of metal that make up the base AND walls of the pan. This has a single aluminum disc sandwiched between stainless steel on the bottom. The sides are one layer of stainless steel and the lid is glass. As a result, you will not get the degree of even heat retention from all directions, as you would in a much more expensive pot. That said, I believe this will serve most people well and it's a great buy at this price!

So glad I bought this pot years ago

I bought this stockpot in August of 2016 to replace a Revere I had for years. I have used it a couple times each week for 2 1/2 years now for everything from stews, spaghetti, pasta, soups, potatoes, etc. and never have had a problem with it. There have been a couple of times when something stuck to the bottom due to user error, but it has always come out after soaking the pan. Stainless steel does stain when certain things are cooked in it but sprinkling in some Bar Keepers friend and then wipe it with a wet paper towel before washing the pot will keep it looking like new. Mine looks like I just bought it after having used it hundreds of times. If you are looking to add a new stockpot to your kitchen this is the one you want.

Love this pan

I love this pan. It is high quality stainless and cleans up very easily. I have Cooks Standard pans as well as All Clad pans. The quality between the two seems matched but I prefer the handle and glass lids on the Cooks Standard pans. The Cooks Standard pans are a fraction of the price so the next time I need cookware I will be purchasing the Cooks Standard pans.

Excellent

I got the 5-quart version a few weeks ago. Although it's nice, it's not big enough for my purposes. This one is 7 quarts. It's like a "Dutch Oven," only shallower and wider. It's very solid for a $34 pot. Definitely a step up from the inexpensive pots and pans that you get at department stores. It's exactly 11 inches going from the inside of the rim (at the top) to the inside of the rim on the other side. It's exactly 4 5/8" from the very bottom to the top of the rim. You get a little more interior room on the topside as the cover is not flat. Excellent quality for $34.

This is an excellent high quality pot

This is an excellent high quality pot. I was impressed with the weight of it. It is machined every well, the bottom is true flat, which is important on ceramic cook-tops. I highly recommend it.

Perfect cookware, serves well for my purpose

Perfect cookware, serves well for my purpose. Food does not stick on it, it is easy to clean and looks very sleek as well. I especially bought it so I can use it for my induction cooker. I love the glass cover and the fact that the handle stays cool. Price is very reasonable, I highly recommend it.

Good Sturdy Pot, Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

I bought this to boil up nectar for hummingbirds. It's a terrific all around pot. Well made. Sturdy. I love the fill markings on the inside wall--I use them all the time. I filled it using a measuring cup, the markings seem accurate. The glass lid has a small hole for a thermometer or to release steam. It's stainless steel, well made, the handles stay as cool as possible. The pot I had been using didn't have the small hole, instead it would spatter sugar syrup all over the place. No syrup seems to come out the little hole. Using this pot I've never had any mess.

Great stock pot!

This is a very nice stock pot, and rounds out a set we purchased a few months ago that only included a 4 QT and 8 QT stock pot. This one seems very heavy duty and well constructed. Heat is distributed evenly and it works well on our Electrolux induction range. It's easy to clean. We're hoping for many long years of use. Update November 2016: After a few months of use, this pot developed a loud buzz/whine when used on any suitable elements of our induction range. I contacted the vendor and explained the issue. They immediately sent out a replacement pot, which arrived only a few days later. They said we could dispose of the old pot as we see fit. That's excellent service! Still five stars despite the trouble after only a few months. I actually have a 4.2 QT 'casserole' (basically a stock pot) from another vendor, that developed the same problem. They want to just give me a partial refund - not a replacement pot, trying to convince me the issue is normal. I think maybe I'll take the refund and just buy another one of these. Wish Cooks Standard made this in a 4.5 or 5 quart size though - 6 quarts is really a bit larger than two people need for most things.
