I bought this to replace an aluminum pot that was my mother's. Much sturdier and can be used for more things. A minor note...it has little holes in the lid so it isn't a complete seal for steaming...no biggie. Read more

This pot is a thing of beauty and definitely the nicest I own. The polishing and workmanship is perfection. The handles assure grip regardless how full or heavy it is. It’s solid, excellent weight. Measurements inside the pot are clear and large enough to see. The bottom is thick, it will not warp. The lid is exact fit. I didn’t want a glass lid snd this pot is NOT a second best. It will surpass my lifetime and still be high quality . Stainless steel grades are important and this pot shows why Read more

Best Stock pot I have ever owned. Heavy bottom construction creates even heat distribution, quality materials, tight fitting lid. Incredible price/ value. I will buy more from this manufacturer. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you. Read more

These stockpots are very nice and very well constructed. They are thick so it holds heat very well which helps with the cook times of your dish. A good rage of capacity to choose from. The lid fits great and love the vent holes in it. Read more

I liked the first one so much, I bought a second one! After using 2 of them for canning tomato sauce (processing the voluminous liquids), I decided I still need a 3rd one (2 for the front burners and 1 to use for straining tomatoes and such, so I can stay busy, while 2 pots cook-down). So, I'll soon have 3 of them, and they work... Oh, how they work! I pour contents from one to the other as I move the juice/sauce through the various stages of production. Very even heating across bottom. Nice pot-edge, so pouring from one pot to another is without any spills or drips. Measuring guides inside the pot, etched in metal. Size is as big as my sink can manage; Any larger and I'd not be able to wash it in the kitchen! So, perfect sizing! Further, it is as wide as I want, so it does not overhang the edge of the stove. Overhanging pot can super-heat your countertop, so you must avoid that. Just the right gauge of metal is used: Light enough to handle and strong enough to not flex under load. Very easy to clean, inside and out. Handles are super comfortable and my hot-pads seem to grip these embossed handles very securely. More on build-quality: Rivets are full stainless steel. They are not stainless steel caps over aluminum rivets (which is a cheap and unreliable design, whenever used in competitor products). These Bakken Swiss rivets will never corrode. You will notice that when making the pots, the stainless steel rivets, being so much harder than aluminum, required a much greater force to stamp them into correct shape. That action caused a very slight 'dimple' in the pot walls (only noticeable to an engineer, like myself): Proof that the rivets are super strong. This only confirms my happiness with the excellent build quality. I highly recommend this pot brand to anyone who wants to buy and not have to replace them later. Read more
