User of Cuisinart products for many, many years (appliances, cookware, bake ware) but did not have this stockpot. Can rely on Cuisinart in daily cooking whether it's for detailed recipes or quick meals.

P.S. Unfortunately, my Cuisinart CHW-12R 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Plus Hot Water System Coffee Maker, Brushed Metal/Red just recently died after all these years and is NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. 
Had to purchase a coffeemaker in RED other than Cuisinart. Very, VERY disappointing! Need to keep COLOR varieties available.
