I'm very particular about my pots.   I sometimes cook 7+ times a week.  This pot is definitely my favorite.  We've cooked several times in it and nothing sticks.   It is very well made and heavy so you don't have to worry about dents or dings on it.   I will be slowly replacing my other cookware with ninja cookware.    This will be something that'll last me forever and not just a few years. Great investment!
