First of all, this Rachael Ray Create Delicious Nonstick Stockpot in Light Blue Shimmer is a beautiful pot. You will love to keep it out on display for the world to see. Does it perform well? Oh yes. I used this pot to make a Sweet and Sour Cabbage with Flanken and Beef Short Ribs on the stove top. It cooked the meal great and it cleaned up easily. I have my favorite pots for this recipe, but this may just be my new favorite pot. Best of all this pot can handle 400 degree oven temperatures which is more than most and it's dish washer safe. When you need a new pot or even when you just want one, make sure to give this Rachel Ray product a try.
