Aramco 8 Piece Stock Pot Set, Large, Aluminum

These get extremely hot and discolor immediately

Alpine Cuisine Aluminum Stock Pot 4 Piece Set of 2, 3.5, 5, and 8 Quarts with Lids and Heat-Resistant Handles| Heavy-Duty Dishwasher Safe Use as Cooking Pot, Stew Pot, Simmer Pot, Soup PotThere are a couple of important places where the description doesn't match the product received. The required CA disclosure for risk of exposure to lead and cadmium should be included in the description. Perhaps including the information that the lead test chemicals react to aluminum. Additionally, the aluminum stained from dishwasher detergent. (See photo of test swab squiggles and dishwasher staining.) The stickers attached to each of the pots are difficult to remove and I think left a residue as those areas did not stain in the dishwasher.At first look, I was thrilled with the sizes provided in this set. These are more of a thinner lightweight aluminum than the images seem to show in the description. They were beautifully at first glance. Even the disclosure didn't phase me. I used some lead test swabs, which reacted with the aluminum because the chemicals are acidic. I don't know whether that reaction makes the swabs ineffective, but the swabs didn't indicate lead. So, all of the pots show random squiggle patterns over the inside and outside of the pots. I don't know if there's a home test for cadmium. (It's been a very long time since chemistry class so I could be wrong but I think cadmium is used in chrome and it appears the handles are chrome plated).The other discrepancy between the description and the received product is the description states the pots have a ceramic coating (copied below). The images do not show a coating. These pots do not have ceramic coating. (I didn't expect ceramic coating based on the images, but when there's conflicting information it seems worth noting.)There's no country of origin listed in the description. I tried to zoom in on the label in the images in the description because I think the labels show the country of origin but I couldn't see the details on my computer. (I didn't take pictures of the pots until after they went through the dishwasher).Because the pots I received were so different from what I expected based on the information provided, I would strongly encourage communicating with the store to ensure they are a good fit prior to purchasing. Ideally, the description would be updated to better reflect the product.From description: ERGONOMIC HANDLES: Features ergonomic aluminum handles for comfortable handling and cooking.From description: Though dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the aluminum shine of this kitchen stock pot.From description:Material AluminumFinish Type PolishedBrand Alpine CuisineColor SilverCapacity 5.5 QuartsItem Weight 6.2 PoundsCoating Description CeramicIs Oven Safe Yes

Beautiful Set of stainless steel pots of different sizes! Awesome housewarming gift as well!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️♥️

Used twice and dented from heat ….cheap material ….not recommended

We were disappointed in the sizes-needed larger pots for Christmas cooking!

At first look these are beautiful and pots. But after a few uses it starts to turn a dark rusted gray. I would probably use use it for steaming and not actual soups or rice, etc…

I didn't get my lids to my pots

"Alpine Cuisine 3.5-quart aluminum stockpot is still on Amazon. The same model tested 95 times the allowable amount of lead when the new law takes effect in 2026."

Excellent
