Kirecoo Stainless Steel Stock Pot - 8 Quart Heavy Duty Induction Cooking Pot with Visible Lid for Pasta, Soup, Spaghetti, Nonstick Thick Bottom Big Stockpot, Deep Cookware for Canning, Boiling, Simmer

I bought this pot in a panic because I couldn't find the one I thought I had and I needed it right away and not much beats Amazon's next day shipping! It has a nice heavy weight to it and has a rugged bottom that makes excellent contact with the burner and made for even cooking. Its much bigger than I needed for this meal but will come in real handy for making large batches of soups and chili's this winter. I browned meat and boiled an entire box of lasagna with no sticking whatsoever. It did, however take quite a while for the water to come to a boil which I anticipated, but it still seemed like a long time. It's a great looking pot and has a nice glass lid, which is way more helpful than a solid cover. It washes up by hand very easily and when I was looking for a place to store my new pot, I found the one I already had! I still feel that it was money well spent since it performs just as well as the one I paid 2-3x more for. For the price point alone, it's a great choice, add it's great performance and you have a fantastic quality pot that rivals the much pricier brands. I can definitely recommend.

This pot is really good for soups and stocks. I used to use a 8 qt but I found that it 8 qts was too much for 2 people. A 5 qt is good enough for 2 people and it’s not too heavy. I mostly use this for soups and it’s held up just fine. It’s not flimsy and it’s well made

I just got this yesterday and haven't had a chance to cook in it yet, but so far, I really like it. It seems very well made, has a thick bottom for even heating, is large enough for soups, stocks, boiling large batches of pasta. I bought it to make large batches of soup for meal prep/freezing. I like the glass lid so I can see my food cooking. I read some reviews about the lid shattering, but I felt like that was probably a flaw in certain lids and was not a manufacturing flaw. I've had it happen on other pots from cheap to high end brands. I expect the stainless steel to clean well and hold its shine for a long time. UPDATE: I got to make a big pot of vegetable beef soup in my new pot and I LOVE IT! The pot heated up very quickly and the heat was evenly distributed through the pot, not in areas of it. And the bottom is so well designed that it almost got too hot. I had to watch it carefully and turn the burner on my stove way down. I am just so pleased with the way it cooks.....and the clean up was so fast and easy. I highly recommend this to anyone who cooks in large batches as I do.

It's a good pot, the capacity is perfect for doing noddles and heat is even. Cleans pretty good and so far no scratch's. I only gave it 4 stars because the spots on the bottom takes some elbow grease to remove and the white foam at the top ( from the noddles ) leaves a film on parts of the side.

We just got a new induction range and we needed an 8 quart pot. This one is a very high quality product. It cleans easily and works wonderfully.

I bought this pot and I absolutely love it. And on the other hand I hate it because it's still not big enough for my spaghetti sauce and soup that I make and freeze. But the pot itself is awesome. It cleans up nice the lid fits great on it and it's lightweight. So when you're moving it you're not moving some pot that is way too heavy along with whatever you have filled the pot with.

This pot is amazing! It is extremely easy to clean, it is lightweight, and albeit lightweight it is extremely solid and durable! It CAN have stuff stick to it if you overdo it or leave it in there (boiling pasta) but even then it is easy to clean and get the stick off. Heat dispersion is perfect and it does not take too long to heat up. If you are looking for a pot and came across this, then get it!!!

After more years than I can count, it was time to replace our main stock pot with a new one because I managed to burn the entire bottom of the pot while steaming corn-on-the-cob and attempting to multi-task too many other things. I did my best to clean the other one but it wasn’t happening. So, I got on Amazon, and like so many others, went with this highly recommended option. It definitely is worth the high star rating. Unlike a lot of other overseas products, the base of this pot is SOLID!! It’s not that cheap metal we’ve become accustomed to. The lid is see-through so you can watch your food through the cooking process. I added a couple of pics for comparison. Our very old previous pot came with the steamer basket and a solid metal lid. Unfortunately, although that other pot and basket were also 8-Qt in size , the dims vary slightly enough that the steamer basket does not fit correctly on this new pot. I can’t give it any negative stars because they didn’t know I actually wanted that. Thankfully, I have another pot that it still fits perfectly on so will keep both products for the varying options. Great quality. Great price. Easy 5 stars for me. Hope this review helps.
