Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this pot at a local retailer when I discovered I needed a stainless steel pot for making cheese at home. All of my cookware, which I have been just this side of replacing for a year, is nonstick. I'm not a fan of nonstick for anything except the cleanup process -- and when it begins to deteriorate, it's flat out unheatlhy. So I was excited about the prospect of buying a nice stainless pot that I could also use in the oven.
The good about this pot:
- Although the copper coating on the bottom is thin, after several batches of cheese I have not seen any scorching when working on an electric coil stove.
- For its size, it is very lightweight.
- I have had no trouble cleaning it, even removing the residue from working with coagulated dairy products. (However, it must be cleaned properly!)
- The lid seals tightly and the handles are well-made and easy to work with.
- It can go from stovetop to oven, making it a viable option for recipes like goulash or roasts without having to go to a cast iron pot.
- Its configuration (tall and narrow) means that it does not hang over the sides of a large coil burner and retains heat well.
The negatives:
- As other reviewers have stated, this is not the RevereWare of old. It is thinner, not as finely milled inside, and can't be used on glasstop surfaces.
- You actually have to clean it. Many people have gotten spoiled with nonstick cookware and no longer know what it's like to have to soak and soap a pot right after using it in order to keep from ruining it. I don't personally consider this a negative, but it's definitely a consideration if you're a "cook today, clean tomorrow" kind of person.
You will pay far, far more than the price of this pot for a heavy stainless or coated cast iron item of the same capacity. With a clear understanding of its limitations, I think it's an excellent addition to my kitchen.
