Cuisinart 12-qt. Chef's Classic Stainless Stockpot  Product Reviews

"Got this pot a few weeks ago and have used it several times - find it to be perfect for cooking long pasta. Prior to this I used a shorter / broader Cuisinart stock pot which was not the best size for long pasta. I love the Cuisinart line, they are sturdy, well made pots. This is a large capacity pot so you can make 2 lbs. of pasta without worrying about boiling over, sticking together, etc. It has plenty of room. It's perfect for making large batches of sauce, stocks, and soups."

"There is no other cookware that can compare to Cuisnart! I have tried most expensive ones over the years. The classis stainless is easy to clean and and maintains it's mirror finish. It cooks even without sticking or scourching; I even think foods cook faster. With the all stainless construction you can cook on top of the stove or the oven in the same cookware; also use in the dishwasher. I have the complete set with extra pieces i.e. lasanga pan, large & small dutch ovens; 12 qrt stockpot; double boiler, etc.. For some one who wants great cookware you can't go wrong with Cuisinart!"

"I just purchased a glass top stove and my favorite (30 year old) stock pot did not sit flat on the cooking surface. This pot is exactly what I needed. Although it is a full 12 quarts, it is tall, versus wide, and fits the burner perfectly. No hot spots as in my old one. I think I have a new favorite!"

"I like the pot and used it couple of times.The only problem is,its huge and cleaning is a pain.Rest the quality is good."
