I love Farberware so I knew I would love this 6 quart stock pot, and I did! I use it often. Everything from making a pot roast in the oven to pasta on the stovetop and the pot works perfectly every time! Handles are secure and lid fits perfectly. Easy to clean too, and pot keeps its shape and so does lid. I have had pots prior that have gotten mishapen after being in oven/stovetop but this one is great. Being a 6 quart stock pot, it can hold a big pot roast, veggies, etc.. and also a huge pot of pasta. Perfect size for a family. I have many Farberware bakeware items and over the years I keep going back to this brand because it does not disappooint! This i# a pot i will use for many, many years to come!
