I am thrilled with this 6 quart stock pot from All-Clad! I have been assembling a collection of many All-Clad items over the years and I am excited to add this item to my shelves. The finish and workmanship of the stock pot is instantly apparent as soon as you open the box. As I have come to expect from All-Clad, this is another great example of their quality products made here in the USA. At the time of this review I have only done a batch of pasta, however the performance is great. Heats up quickly, but evenly. Handles stay cool enough to lift off the stove. The lid fits perfectly, so it keeps the contents warm. Clean up was easy, and it still looks brand new. Over all I am quite happy with this item, and I look forward to many years of use.
