This stock pot was purchased for making chili for a large party- it made a great batch of chili and looked good enough to sit on the stove to simmer. When browning the onions, I did burn the bottom of the pot, which made it difficult to clean completely and did leave a few marks at the bottom. I love the size since it can be used for other large batches of soups and sauces. I suppose you could boil a lobster in there, too.

After reading other reviews prior to purchasing we are very satisfied with this steam pot. The day after we received it we had a small clambake in our back yard. The steamer worked perfectly. We used the stand from our "turkey fryer" as the heating element. The clams and the rest of our food turned out delicious. In fact, we had another clambake the following week. And again 2 weeks after that. We had no issues and can't wait to use again.
All-Clad is the very best and most of their pans are compatible with Induction cooking I had the 6qt so I ordered all the larger pieces that had the aluminum core. I never like to cook in the exact size pan. I like to have ample extra room in the pan. I think the other is a 12 qt. and I have the steam insert that fits all those pans.
Besides getting this pot at a great price and the shipping was super fast, I used it for the first time today to can salsa. It was so worth every penny. Even though I had to simmer the salsa for quite a while because I only have one canning pot, I experienced absolutely no sticking or burning in the center of the pot and I have a gas stove. What a wonderful experience; highly recomended.

Anolon just gives the consumer great value...as does Amazon! We now have a larger than complete set of various Analong cookware, and it is easily suyperior to many other lesser and even more expensive products. The cleanup is exceptionally easy, the finish is handsome and durable, and the lids fit quite well. I was afraid that this might prove to small a capacity for most of the pasta that we prepare, having replaced a larger aluminum/copper 8 quart stock pot. Well, it does just fine, and is easier to handle, although be prepared to use pot holders on the handles, as they get rather warmish when boiling pasta or potatoes.
Also, a very minor note of consideration, one should be careful about moving or rotating the pot (or Anolong skillets) ... Read More:

The overall performance of the stock pot is good, but not great. It has a tall body so it makes the boiling soup harder to spill out and create the mess on the stove top. The non-sticky part inside and out seems very sturdy and lasting, and that makes the cleaning part easy too because the grease and stuff can easily be washed off from the smooth surface. The only compliant I have to this product is that because of the tall body the pot has, the metal cylinder doesn't seem to hold its shape perfectly. The top opening seems to be distorted a little; therefore, the glass lid can't fit there perfectly. I often need to turn the lid slightly to the left and then to the right a couple of times in order to adjust the lid to fit into the pot opening.

For ocassional use, great choice. Handles sturdier than expected and vent on top useful. Pot is on the thin side and wouldn't let it boil dry or use excessive heat - now I can make corned beef and cabbage without spilling water when the cabbage goes in!
