I received this maestro stock pot for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. Overall I really liked this stock pot. It’s a good size, retains heat well especially when simmering. Which is always a struggle on my electric cooktop. I like the measurements shown inside the pot and it cleaned up nicely in the dishwasher. My only dislike is the lid that has a hole to allow steam to come out. This is nice for some things but there are times I want a good seal on the pot. It is light weight which is nice when the pot is full but I wish the metal was actually a little more substantial. It can be placed in the oven but I believe no higher than 350F. I like that I can use it on a induction cooktop which I will have in my new home.
