I definitely love this pot, it is a wonderful intermediate size. I love the volume markings inside and it is just beautiful. My only complaint is that other people have noticed this too, it has marks inside the bottom. After just a couple uses. And using wooden utensils. It does not impact the functioning of the pot that I can tell. It developed places where it got sort of foggy and then you can see little marks were scraped with a wooden spoon. Would recommend anyone to purchase it, though. It heats evenly and quickly, and the lid fits as I would like.
