I bought this size pot to make Bone Broth. I have another 12-Qt by another leading brand that under performs by comparison. The disparity in costs between the All Clad pot and my other, however is notable. From a performance standpoint, the All Clad Stockpot appears to evenly distribute the heat, therefore there is slower reduction of the stock, resulting in a richer flavor of the both. I am also very happy with the look and feel of the pot.
I so appreciate the heavy construction, as opposed to lighter-weight large All-Clad options. Good for stock…but also oversized Dutch oven meals, on top of or inside range – & it's amazing on a hanging pot rack.
I got this as a gift about a month ago. One of my disappointments is that the handles on the lid as well as the pot get very hot requiring a pot holder to lift the lid. I have an induction stove so the pan heats up very rapidly. I did notice some hot spots on the bottom of the pan, I think the 5 ply option would eliminate this issue
Have used this pot a few times since I got it about one month ago and I'm very pleased. Lid fits tightly. Both the pot and the lid have a beautiful mirror finish. It heats up quicker and more evenly than my old aluminum clad pot.
We bought the 12Qt to accommodate cooking pasta and making stocks. The stockpot really gets the job done and I’m glad we went with the triple ply given the overall weight of the pot. We own a 4Qt 5D stockpot and feel that these two stockpots make a great team.
My wife bought this pot for me as a Christmas gift, and I love it! I have a 12-qt pot, but it's a little too big for everyday use. This 8-qt size is just right - very convenient for cooking pasta for two!
