Martellata Copper 5-Quart Covered Stewpot

You will not all of the great reviews are from people who have recently purchased the product. I purchased this product in March of 2017; it is now November of 2022, and these pans, babied all their lives, are falling apart. The frying pans are wrapping, and the pots no longer heat evenly. The handles get very hot; I've had significant burns from the handles, the copper wears off, it comes off when I wipe the pots down, and worse of all, the lids no longer fit tightly; when something boils, the kitchen fills up with steam, and the lids are too hot to handle. I replaced all of my cookware with these, and I cannot tell you just how disappointed I have been with these products. Please don't waste your money as I did!

Update Jan 7 2020:Still love my pots and pans. They clean like a dream still. I haven’t polished them yet - not a huge fan of the super shiny look. But even a year later they just have a nice patina, not covered in green.——I bought this pot and the large frying pan, and I'm incredibly pleased with the purchase.These pots and pans have excellent heat distribution, they are easy to clean, they don't tarnish nearly as badly/quickly as I expected, and they stand up to my lazy housekeeping (aka, a few shameful days in the sink.) Plus, it takes a lot for the handles to get hot.They're super attractive too, and look great on display. I nearly bought cheaper versions, but I'm soooo glad I went with these. They are heavy, well built and will last decades. My wonderful husband has been reminded to buy me more for Christmas. Can't wait!

Beautiful pots and heavy! In trying to make a sets, glad to see them in individual pcs!

Beautiful!!! Nice sturdy pan but not too heavy to pick up. I have used it mostly to cook pasta but it will make a great soup or chili pot. The lid is perfect. I really like the handles. Glad that I ordered it for myself as a birthday present.

At first I thought this was smaller than what I need, but then I just realized it was a bit wider than what I was used too. Fits the same amount and is a great addition to my copper cookware.

I used this to make jam. It conducts heat wonderfully and reduced the cooking time by at least a third. Easy to clean too.

Loved making lamb biryani in it. I usually cook meat in it and take it over to friends - a very easy cook and serve that would make a great addition to any kitchen.

Very well constructed and beautiful to look at. The hard stainless interior is a huge plus for metal utensils.

I love everything about this pot. Great heat distribution. Looks great. Easy to clean. Since I got it I’ve used it every day.
