Le Creuset Enameled Steel Stock Pot with Lid, Cherry
Poach chickens, simmer stocks, cook pasta, or prepare a vegetable soup or  classic chili in this tall, narrow, 8-quart stockpot with a tight-fitting lid. Made of  heavy-gauge steel and double-coated with hard, bright enamel, the stockpot coordinates  with Le Creuset's famed enameled cast-iron cookware in the French manufacturer's  handsome colors and is as at home in the dining room as a serving vessel as it is in the  kitchen on the stovetop or in the oven. The lid has a plastic knob that is ovenproof to 450  degrees F. Fitted with a steel rim to prevent chipping, the pot is durable enough to outlive  its 101-year warranty against defects and goes safely into the dishwasher and refrigerator.--Fred Brack
