This is a great stockpot!  The lid sits nice and snug on the top and it has enamel coding inside to help things not burn.  It has a good thickness and weight to it and it is not cheaply made and I love the red color to it.  It is nice and vibrant and not dull.  This is going to be a great stockpot to make stews and casseroles in.  I am excited to use it!
