We love our new stockpot. We have a much larger one that is too big for most household meals with kids now off to college, and the 6-quart is the perfect size. It is well-made and very durable, great quality for the price. We have used it quite a bit for soups and stews and will enjoy using it in our kitchen for years. Our only complaint, and it is minor, is that the edges of the handles are just a little too squared off, and would be more comfortable to hold with a more rounded edge, especially when the pot is full and heavy. Other than that we are very pleased.
