This Stock Pot was a great purchase. It has the new glass lid design that Farberware now offers. It's a medium weight pot, but has a nifty hi-tech bottom for even heat distribution. The sturdy handle design makes for safe emptying of boiling water, plus the riveted handles stay cool like the classic button lid pull. Perfect for boiling up pasta, corn on the cob, soup stock, etc. Don't know why they describe it as "in silver". If you're a cook, you are interested in the pot's material not than the color, right? Maybe it's because the photo of the pot almost makes it look like there's a black stripe down the center? But don't worry, this excellent stock pot is in gleaming stainless steel with an almost mirror finish. Bottom line: IMO, the pot is at the top of it's price class.
