The Circulon 8-Quart ScratchDefense Nonstick Stockpot with Lid is truly a non stick pot i tried repairing my favorite one pot soup that usually sticks to my regular pot and nothing stuck I was very surprised and happy with how easily the pot was cleaned with a basic kitchen sponge and dish soap, the pot is a good size for preparing large meals. I highly recommend this pot to anyone looking for a stockpot that is high quality and truly nonstick.
