I bought this pot because it sounded like it was excellent quality and would be great for cooking soups, etc. I used it to boil a large corned beef. I used low heat at first & then gradually went up to just shy of medium. That worked well to cook the meat. When I washed the pot, however, it wouldn’t come completely clean. I used the barkeepers friend to wash the stubborn spots, but that didn’t work. It says dishwasher safe, so I tried that. Rough food spots still there. This was a very expensive pot! I expected to be able to clean it well. So I’m disappointed that it’s not completely clean.
