This pan is exactly the pan my husband needed to make his favorite chili. It’s also great for spaghetti sauce. And, it’s shine adds to the ambiance in the kitchen.
The size is nice and big , great for stew, soup, spaghetti sauce . Large crowd cooking. It’s not an overly heavy pot , heats evenly and heats quickly. I’ve used Cuisinart for about 45 years. The quality is not the same but I added this to my original set ( made in France not China) I’m not disappointed . It’s a good piece of cook ware just a little lighter in weight than the older sets . But still a nice addition
Cuisinart has been my most favorite to cook with, it's durability and the encapsulated bottom allow the cooking process to happen effortless and it so simple to clean. It's simple to maintain when the quality is exceptional! Quality Craftmanship is hard to come by.
