Review: Just ok - upgraded to excellent! - I have mixed feelings about this pot. On the one hand, I like the quality construction, the glass lid (which seals very well), and the shape. This is my second item in the Chef's Classic line. There are a couple of things about this pot that I don't like, and they are big ones, so that's why I knocked off two stars (meaning I think this pot is just ok, not great and not awful). First, it takes FOREVER for water to boil. Not forever as in 10 minutes, but more like 45 minutes. You're not supposed to use this pan on high heat, so that's at a 6 on my stove, which is the highest I ever turn it up with stainless steel. Second, the base of this pan is significantly smaller than that of a stockpot, which makes it hard to use on the larger burners on my glass top stove. I believe the measurement is in the product description, so that's my fault for not measuring the burner, but I think it's annoying regardless. I guess I would say that if you have to cook something in a hurry, or if you just want it for things like boiling pasta, then keep looking. If you want to use it more like a slow cooker or have a lot of time to spend standing over it and waiting for the contents to get hot, then this is the pan for you. In my kitchen, it will probably only be used for anything that needs to simmer for a couple of hours. I wish I would have sprung for the Multiclad Pro or Calphalon Tri-Ply stock pot instead, even though they are 4-5x the price. Update 6/20/13: I came back to add a star. Since I had decided I didn't like this pan at all, I started using it in ways I wouldn't normally use my cookware. I used a metal whisk in it. I even used a metal hand blender in it. Honestly, I was kind of hoping to destroy it so I could get it out of my house, but it has held up. It has a few scratches on the bottom now, but they seem to be only cosmetic. I have used it as a large mixing bowl for double batches of muffins, and as a popcorn bowl for our air popper (it works great for this because of the large circumference of the top). In terms of cooking, I mostly use it for soup now. If I make something like potatoes in it, I just start them well ahead of when I think I need to. For something I was really disappointed in at first, this has turned out to be a pretty great little pan. Update 1/9/16: Three years in, I love this pan and have upgraded it to five stars. Shortly after I wrote the original review, I did go out and buy a Multiclad Pro stock pot. It's beautiful and a great investment, but do you know which pot I reach for almost every time? This one. It's a workhorse, and it has held up well to almost daily use. If something happened to this pot, I would buy another one in a heartbeat...but at this rate, I'm pretty sure it will last forever.
Review: I like Cuisinart Stainless Encapsulate, and this is no different, VERY USEFUL POT. - I've made pasta in it, large batches of sauces, stews, tossed salads in it (pretty easy with the lid on, which has a lip going down into the pot)and found this a good shape overall for many things. I now have three pans in different sizes in this Chef's shape from Cuisinart, in addition to a slew of standard pieces, and find myself reaching for these the most, other than the 8" fry for mushrooms, onions, etc. This is very adaptable and useful pot, does many different things, looks cool, doesn't have a long handle to get in the way of your other pans and is a snap to clean, just like any good Stainless Steel is. Not too heavy, either, which is nice if you have mobility or pain issues with your hands. Seems well made, like all their stuff, the glass lid, a departure for them, lets you see your work without releasing vital moisture, and can provide "waterless" cooking quality seal... there is no vent, which is good if you know what you're doing, not so good if you don't. The lid is domed enough to return condensate to the sides of the dish, which helps cut crusting and sticking, and keeps things most. I don't eat meat, but you should be able to do a small chicken or cornish hens in here and have that come out very very moist. AS WITH ANY STAINLESS COOKWARE, a couple notes: keep the heat LOWER than you're used to with aluminum and other materials. Steel is fast. Keep the food moving. That is normal in any pan, but with stainless, heat transfers quickly, so keep it moving and pay attention to how fast it's searing: you save time and energy with Stainless. Lastly, let is soak before cleaning, usually the duration of your actual dining is quite sufficient and I have never yet needed anything more aggressive than a Dobie Pad or other NYLON scrubby. ALWAYS season new Stainless cookware. Keep it seasoned: this means trying to NOT use soap on the inside, but to use only very hot water and the nylon scrubby or a sponge. It's safe, natural and after several times of cooking, will be as good as teflon but smoother. Use ONLY a sponge on the outside if you can, so you don't scratch the nice finish. This is a good shape, looks like you know what you're doing, even if you're still learning, and should last a long time with a little care. It cooks evenly, quickly, works great. As with any disk/encapsulate cookware, do NOT let the flames from your burner exceed the width of the disc, and don't use it on an electric that is wider than the disc. That's one sure way to mess up or maintain the overall look of your lovely Cuisinart Stainless. It's always on sale for pretty attractive price on desertcart, so... get one! Believe me, you'll use it, even if you have no other Cuisinart Stainless encapsulated Chef's Classic cookware. This is useful.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this induction ready?**
A: No it’s not even though it clearly states “Features: Induction-ready|Mirror finish. Classic looks“ in the description.

**Q: Has anyone used this on an induction cooktop or does a magnet adhere to the bottom of it?**
A: Not for Induction! I was very disappointed! Says clearly in description and is wrong, tried a magnet too and it won't stick. It is a nice looking pan, big for a family meal, ran thru dishwasher once and it looked new still. I may try on gas stove top and then decide if I will keep it. Wanted Induction, entire reason I bought this =(

**Q: Can I use this pot to cook pasta?**
A: I have used mine for pasta many times. I just bought another pot like this because one of my daughters saw mine and loved it so I ordered her one for Christmas! HOPE THIS HELPS! HuGs,joAnna

**Q: Where is this pot manufactured?**
A: Soory, the pot does not have information on it about the place of manufacture, but I am very satisfied with it. May be it is 'made in China'.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a very nice versatile pot.
*by P***R on April 29, 2019*

Somehow I seem to reach for this pot just about every time I am cooking for 3-5 persons. It is nice and so easy to use. The size and weight are perfect and the shape of this pot is really good, it's rounded corners make it easy to clean and food tends not to stick in the corners. The handles never get hot with my style of cooking and I also use it as a makeshift wok at times. I just love this pot and use it for literally all my medium to large dishes. I boil pasta in it, do soups, large batches of bolognese sauce, chili, steam veggies in it, even cook rice in it and everything turns our right. A word to the wise, as with ALL STAINLESS STEEL POTS AND PANS always remember to PREHEAT them before adding oil then the meat, etc. Do the water test when preheating your pans and you should not have any sticking issues whatsoever. Heck, sometimes I have even used it as a mixing bowl for cake recipes and its perfect. This is a great pot and I highly recommend it.
