Due to its light weight I was a little skeptical when I first got the pot. We cooked several items and forgot to take pictures so I was able to use it with broth, soup, rice and iced tea. The heat distributed evenly and best of all it was easy to clean even though some rice stuck to it. We area family of 3 and it has a good capacity to cook and fits two chicken carcasses easily for broth. The top is a new design I have not seen and worked well to prevent spillage while allowing for ventilation. Overall I plan on using this pot weekly and am looking into buying more
