It’s very hefty and feels like great quality but the heat distribution is not good at all. Maybe user error but every time I cooked rice, beans, lentils, etc I noticed everything at the bottom would be cooked but at the top would be raw. I have never had this issue with other pots. I would constantly have to mix around but even then would still end up with some raw bits and pieces. For soups and pasta it’s great at least. It is a very decent sized pot. It’s a bit tallish so it’s a tad hard for me to wash in my sink so I usually opt for washing in my dishwasher
