Great tri-ply stock pot. A shallow 8qt pot is not common but so great for soups, stews and broths. Fully clad with 18/10 stainless steel on the inside, an aluminum core and 18/0 on the outside for induction capabilities. This pan heats quickly, retains heat well and has lots of surface space for even browning.
The thick aluminum core of this stock pot allows it to heat up quickly and provides an even cooking surface. Great for chilis, stews, soups, sauces, or pasta. Large handles on sides and glass lid permit easy use of hot pads. Glass lid allows monitoring of contents.
This 8qt.Stainless Steel stock pot is perfect for cooking pastas, sauces, broth and soups. Stainless steel pots possesses equal heat retention and distribution. It is a lifetime investment, has comfortable handles that allow for easy maneuvering and roomy stay cool handle. I've had variety of stainless steel pans, Spirit is one of my favorite pots and pans. Flat bottom stays flat and will not warp. Compatible with gas, induction, ceran, halogen, and electric cooktops and oven safe up to 500F degree. Washing and cleaning is a breeze. Safe to use with metal utensils and dishwasher safe.
I really like this line of Stainless Steel. It can really take the heat! I like browning meats and making large batches of sauce in this one. Heats quickly and evenly. This is a pot to work with. Fill it up, work it hard..it can take it! I like the tight fitting glass lid.
I bought this 8qt stock pot for my brother and few months ago and he loves it! He has really gotten into cooking in the past year or so and has dedicated a lot of his time to using this pot. He loves that it cleans up really easily in his tiny sink and makes a great vessel for his 8 hour bolognese among other delicious meals he has yet to share with me!
This is a great dutch oven. I use this a lot for soups, sauces, pastas. The tri-ply construction of this dutch oven is really well made, it’s not going to be prone to warping or having cold spots in the pot. It heats up really well and retains the heat well. It’s convenient to have the measurements inside the pot, makes it easier for filling the pot and knowing how much water is in it vs. guessing. I like that it’s a brushed stainless steel look and not mirrored, it looks more premium and a better quality piece, not as prone to showing scratches over time.
