12-Quart Stockpot, Hard Anodized Contour Stainless Steel w/Cover, 6466-26

I was in search of a replacement pot for use in making my Italian gravy. It needed to be big enough to fit everything and cook it evenly. I add eight 28 oz. cans of tomato sauce (4 sauce and 4 diced), 2 cans of tomato paste, 1 can of water, 3 lbs. of ground beef, and 2 lbs of sausage - all to this one pot. It holds all of it perfectly and cooks evenly. Nothing sticks to the bottom at all and it holds the heat for hours. Has a great glass lid as well. Definitely worthy of my delicious gravy and highly recommended.

This pan is my go-to. I have had four of these over the years, having just bought my fourth. I get about four years out each pan, tossing them when the nonstick coating gets too scratched up. I NEVER use metal utensils, only wood, plastic, or silicone, and I ALWAYS hand wash them. What I like: - The two smaller grip handles save so much space versus a 12" pan with a long handle. - The handles make the pan way more stable when lifting a pan full of food. - The nonstick coating works well. - The price. As with all nonstick pans, these are a disposable item. If I get four years of use, I'm okay with spending $30-$40 for this pan because it really is my everyday pan. What I don't like: - The handles will get very hot because they're much closer to the flames on a gas stove, as opposed to a long handle which extends much farther out. - The rivets on the inside are difficult to clean around thoroughly. But I'd actually have a riveted handle than one that's welded to the outside of the pan. Feels much sturdier and safer to me. - The limited lifespan. Three or four years is short, but I think it's just the state of this technology. - Cuisinart's warranty. When I had my first pan, I tried to get a new one when, after three or four years of hand-washing and no metal utensils, the nonstick was clearly failing. They gave me a huge runaround and wouldn't back up their "lifetime" warranty, even though (at least at the time) there were no provisions from everyday wear and tear. So, my expectations lowered, I kept on using these pans because they're that good. RECOMMENDED.

Excellent quality, just the right size, and I love the balancing handle for when I need to move it. It's a breeze to clean, and I will never put it in the dishwasher. I want to keep it in perfect condition -- no sticking ever! It's a joy to see a fried egg slide! This is the perfect size, and I love the balancing handle when I need to move it. For me, it's a two-hander. So easy to clean! I'm NOT putting this one in the dishwasher -- only washing by hand! I wan't to keep it in good shape. It's a joy to see a fried egg slide!

Nice pan. This is a replacement for the same model that warped and started to stick after 4 years. Not bad life for a non stick pan.

When I bought it, it was 29.87+ tax it was a great buy, so I bought two and I'm glad I did. Even at the higher price it is a great skillet. It is pretty heavy and the handles are all metal so when I wash it, it's kinda hard to hold because the soap makes the handles slick. Kinda heavy i think for some women. I am a man so it's not an issue. I would buy again

As strange as it may seem, I purchased this pan specifically for making popcorn. It does an outstanding job I previously used a Calphalon 5 quart Dutch oven, but this is much better. The design like a cauldron is perfect and so easy to clean up. I have an automatic popcorn maker from Cuisinart that works very well, but I love this pan because it’s even faster and simple. I have not used it for soup or stew so far but I have cooked popcorn in it probably 50 times and it still looks brand new.

Non stick is excellent

Great skillets; can’t wait to use them!

Arrived on time, good packaging, easy to clean, big size

This pot is very sturdy and fits well on my electric stove element.

Un gran olla, perfecta para reuniones y preparaciones grandes, yo lo amo

Updated review - I am revising the review after using for less than a year. It was great at first but I find the fumes making it hard for me to breathe. It doesn’t last long but I noticed the pattern after a while that every time I place the pan or pot on stove and then it on my chest tightens for about a minute or 2 and then goes away. But it’s EVERY single time! Previous review - Great product. Have used all items for the last month regularly. I cook everyday, so they’ve been through enough for me to write the review. Love everything about them, except the hot handles. The handles on the lids also get pretty hot. Other than that, it’s an excellent product! Still Non-stick, still looks great, cooks evenly and does everything as it’s supposed to except the hot handles! Love it!

The non stick coating is plenty durable too. This was a replacement for the same product which lasted almost a decade.
