Wow!!! All I have to say is that right when you open the box, you already know this is amazing quality stuff. They provided me with tissues lined package and a sturdy box. They also give you instructions on how to care and wash your pot so it is longer lasting. After using my pot for spaghetti noodles, I have to say best pot I’ve ever owned. The noodles cook perfectly and it did not get stuck on the bottom of the pot. I can’t wait to use this pot on other stuff.
