The tri-ply construction of the 9 qt. stockpot conducts and distributes heat evenly, making it ideal for boiling vegetables, simmering soup, or creating flavorful stock. The deep colander insert adds functionality and convenience, making it easier to transfer pasta straight from the stockpot to the serving bowl. The insert also works well for steaming shellfish or blanching vegetables.
The quality of materials and manufacturing is stunning. The strainer insert is super sturdy and holds up well as part of cooking (think huge batch of pasta or LOTS of ears of corn) and the ease of lifting out instead of pouring boiling water is amazing. Great base thickness and stands up to high heat well. Easiest stainless to clean we have ever owned. This will last a lifetime.. Dia. Boise, ID. Tue Mar 17 2026
