HOMICHEFStock Pot 8 Quart with Lid Nickel Free Stainless Steel - Mirror Polished Stockpot 8 QT with Lid - HEALTHY COOKWARE Stockpots 8 Quart - Soup Pot for Induction Cooktop

Good sturdy pot, not too heavy, nice size. I use it for everything from pasta to popcorn. Heats evenly, cleans easily. As good as other pots that cost twice as much.

I've been using this pot for about a week now and it has met or exceeded all my expectations.There are good instructions included with the pot, as this metal has no nickel there are some potentially additional steps you may wish to do. However, I did none of that, I simply washed the pot and lid upon arrival then let it dry. Placed it on the stove and added in enough avocado oil to cover the bottom of the inside of the pot. Heated that up on high for a little less than 2 minutes and then let it cool. Wiped out the excess oil and it has been great ever since.Do things, stick. Sometimes, it is metal so yes that can happen. Is it harder to clean than any other stainless-steel pot or pan, no. Same thing, cleans up easily. I overcooked some rice and it burned to the bottom ,but I have no issue cleaning that out. Like any stainless-steel, if you need to get a mark out, simply use a little bar keepers friend powder (sold everywhere) and it will look brand new in seconds. The huge difference is, with a regular pot and bar keepers friend you can smell the nickel after cleaning, with this one - you do not.So, for a nickel-free (for your health) pot, that is sturdy, well made, comes with a lid, you really can't go wrong. I'd buy from this brand again.===Update: I did end up damaging the pot.It's still a good pot, but never clean the bottom with anything harsh like Ajax or similar. If food is stuck, in my case rice, you need to let it soak, maybe even overnight, then clean or scrape it with a silicone scraper. The bottom is somewhat thin, so scrubbing like that will lead to seeing black marks where the metal is gone. I'll keep my stars as it is a good pot, you just have to be a bit gentle with it.

This pot is wonderful. It heats evenly and it looks great. I’ve used it for homemade soup and tomato sauce. The vented lid works well and has lasted through many hand washes.

This is a nice pot. We needed something smaller than our 6 quart but bigger than our 2 quart. Heat distribution is good and it's nice and solid. My only complaint is that while cooking up a batch of beans for a get together this past weekend, the bottom of the pan ended up scorching - never had the stove set higher than 2, and mostly on 1 or 'low'. In the end, it's OK for the money.

I was visiting relatives out of town and the weather was chilli, so I wanted to make chilli beans but needed the right sized pot. Went on Amazon and found this pot, it waa delivered the next day wirh Amazon Prime. In reading the reviews I learned that you have to season the pot... so I did that before hand. It's a nice pot, good size & thickness, reasonably priced and my chill beans were delicious!

This pot has proven to be the best soup pot that I have ever used. You do not need a high heat with it and once you are simmering your soup for how many hours you need to, you don’t have to stand over top of it. Stirring occasionally is all that is needed. Being the type of construction it is, in my opinion, it helps meld the flavors of vegetables together. I have made three different types of soup in this pot and they have all come out extremely well. I know some people don’t think the cookware matters, but believe me it does. I also had occasion to talk with the company that manufactures the cookware with a question I had and they were extremely helpful to me. I have since bought a 1 quart sauce pan that I needed from this company and it is very nice. I highly recommend this company for any of your cookware needs.

I have been looking for a stainless steel pot for a while now and this one has ticked all the boxes! Been using it for a few months now and love how quickly it heats up and cooks food evenly. It’s easy to clean with minimal effort. The size is perfect for making stocks and soups which is the main reason I bought it.

I was originally skeptical of this product because of the price difference between it and the big name cookware brands, ⅓ to ½ the price. I decided to take a chance and try it anyway. It arrived, and I am absolutely satisfied. The pot comes with a see-thru glass top. The handles on the pot are sturdy and ergonomically designed. I tested the heat distribution by putting 2" o f water in the pot & heating to boiling on my induction range. Bubble formation across the bottom was completely uniform. No hot spots. These guys sell good stuff.
