I honestly love this pot for just about everything. Nothing sticks to it and this is the first pot that truly cooked evenly. This pot is great for stews, cheese sauces and so much more. I use it for everything. I just wish I could buy the whole set. The handles are long enough that you don't need pot holders to pick it up after cooking. They are a heavier pot than I'm used to handling but not enough to really bother me. It's a great strong and sturdy pot that I'd definitely recommend.
