Question: Has anyone used this pot as a hot pot (soup pot)
Document: Very pleased with the purchase of this very useful pot. The very flat bottom works well with the new ceramic stovetop I have and conducts the heat well so a high temperature doesn't have to be used. Especially like the ease of handling with the sized handles and light weight of the pot. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a not-overly-deep pot that still holds a lot because it's width which gives more uniformity in cooking by more surface area versus depth.
If you want to use it more like a slow cooker or have a lot of time to spend standing over it and waiting for the contents to get hot, then this is the pan for you. In my kitchen, it will probably only be used for anything that needs to simmer for a couple of hours.
I used this pot for several days in a row after it arrived because I loved it so much. It's a lovely shape and is well-made. It was perfect for soup, stew, and rice. It's big enough for several servings of whatever you make. A wonderful addition!
This pot looks pretty but, that is it. First time I used it to make soup, pot from the inside-bottom became discolored (brown-bluish metallic color). I thought it was going to be a good pot since it is a Cuisinart. The pot is not thick from the bottom.
For two years I have used this pan for soup, tomatoe sauce  & stews and just found out that it can go in the oven. I can't wait to try a pot roast to use it there. Love it. It does get irridescent stains on the inside.. could be our well water? Would recommend it.
I used this pot once. I cooked oatmeal soup and in my another stainless steel pot oatmeal always stick to bottom. In this one it did not stick at all.Somebody complain that it is thinner pot and probably it is, but it is still thick enough and it is lighter than thicker pots, easier to carry it when it is full.
When we received this pot, my husband said "we don't need any more pots or pans!" I replied that I liked the "dishwasher-safe" feature of this pot. Well, since recently receiving it, we have used it three times (he used it to make bean soup), and we are very pleased! (It is great for making pasta.) I am sure it will be one of our favorites.
So I purchased this a while back, and I've used it a few times now, and I must say, this is my go to pot when I need to feed the family, I use it mostly for soup, it's plenty large, and heats very evenly, but as a stainless with aluminum insert, it does cook a bit hotter than with other pots, just be aware and you are going to love how this thing handles.
It's the perfect sized soup pot. Heats up really fast, base plate spreads the heat fairly evenly. The base plate is aluminum, which heats quicker than I am generally used to. I especially like the shape, more like a bowl than a traditional stock pot, so that the smaller base covers the burner completely. Stockpots usually extend beyond the burner and are thin, resulting in burning at the center and lack of heat on the outside edges. Great soup pot, and good for things other that just soup.
Very pleased with this pot. Bottom is very thick & it looks nice!Would recommend for anyone.
Answer: Yes. It worked very well
