Over the years I have converted all of my pots to MultiClad Pro. The quality of the pots is excellent while at a very reasonable price point. I think they are as good as the "big name" clad cookware at a fraction of the cost. The 6 quart size is great for chilis and soups where I want to make enough for several meals. The diameter and height ratio is very good because there is enough surface area for browning meat while the height of the sides make it a manageable stockpot. I have another brand of 8 quart stockpot that is tall which means the surface diameter of the bottom is too small. Little things like this make the difference in 'a pleasure to use' versus just 'eh'. MultiClad Pro pots are easy to clean and the satin exterior with a band of shine is attractive.
