This is the very best stock pot I've ever owned. . . . I've used many in the past as i cook a lot of beans: limas/ navy whites / and a ton of small red beans which are my favorite. i also cook 16 bean soup a great deal. so as you can see having a great stock pot is imperative as i cook beans all the time. every month. . . the 8 quart stock pot i purchased from you is superb & enhances & gives me the full flavor of my beans as I also add red/ green bell peppers/ celery/ onion/ carrot plus a taste of cayenne pepper to make my beans just right. . . your 8 quart stock pot enhances all the flavors & takes nothing away from my delicious recipe. . . huge plus is how easy it is to clean this wonderful stock pot. . . it's easy to hand wash not a bit awkward or clumsy to hold beautifully designed absolutely the best. . . So happy I purchased same. . .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new stock pot has worked great for making large batches of soup and especially nice when sautéing vegetables or browning/cooking meat for the soup. Love the sturdy design and nonstick characteristics that will give many years of culinary enjoyment.
