The size, and quality are great. The space-saving lid is awkward to use. I wanted to buy the smaller size but am looking for something with a different type of lid.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to purchase a really good set of cookware while quarantining in 2020. Research showed Calphalon being a top brand and I have not been disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed a large cooker to steam apples for applesauce. For years we have used a large, thin stockpot that inevitably scorched the apples on the bottom. This cooker is AMAZING!!! Non-stick surface makes stirring a large amount of sliced apples easily, nothing scorches! Cooks evenly and cleans up great! This is a must-have for processing food for canning or making a large pot of soup/stew.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I make homemade soups, jam, jelly, stock, pie filling both for immediate consumption and for canning and this pot is the perfect size. This pot goes into the oven for roasting bone and vegetables and I can make the soup or stock all in the one pot. Such a lifesaver when you hate doing dishes. I currently own 2 and honestly I wouldn't be taking care of as many elderly church members without this stock pot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this one and it's larger then you think, but it does fit in our pot drawer and we use it all the time for Pasta, Corn and Potatoes. Never sticks.
