Cook N Home Stockpot Sauce Pot Induction Pot With Lid Professional Stainless Steel 12 Quart, Dishwasher Safe With Stay-Cool Handles, Silver

Excellent stockpot
A good looking, shiny pot that heats well and cleans easily.

Good quality
Nice product.

Nice pot but rack has floppy handles.
This large canner pot has worked ok for my purposes, which so far have been processing jam and jelly, mostly 8 to 16 oz. jars, some 4 oz. It holds plenty of jars, more than one batch, and I only make one batch at a time.It is very heavy, especially when full of water. I like that it is stainless steel, has a smooth bottom, and fits on my glass top stove. I add some vinegar to the water to help minimize calcification of the pot, which helps for cleaning. Three things have been tricky. 1. The glass lid fits into the rim of the pot snugly, but when the rack is raised it holds up the lid so it is not not seated as well, just something to be aware of (see photo). 2. The rack, which is very sturdy steel, has handles which are too loose to stay up when it is lowered. The handles flop over on top of the jars, and it is very difficult to get them raised simultaneously out of the boiling water, to be able to grab them with hot pads to pull up the rack. I needed an extra hand. I solved this with strings tied to the handles (see photo). But it would be nice to have a better system. 3. It also would be nice if there were some graduation marks on the inside of the pot so I could more easily monitor and adjust water levels. But overall, compared to my (rusting out) old enamel ware pot this is a very big improvement.

Huge Capacity and Excellent Quality Stockpot
As an avid home chef, I’m always looking for high-quality cookware that can handle large batch cooking. This 12 quart stockpot from Cook N Home definitely fits the bill! I’ve been really impressed by its performance.The size is absolutely massive with a 12 quart capacity. I’ve used it for big batches of soups, stews, stocks, boiling pasta, and more. It’s big enough to can tomatoes or make huge vats of sauce. Yet the overall stockpot is still a manageable size and weight when full.The stainless steel construction feels extremely sturdy and durable. It has an attractive high polished mirror finish. I also really like the thick aluminum disc layered in the bottom which provides excellent heat conduction and prevents hot spots.The pot heats up quickly and evenly thanks to the tri-ply stainless/aluminum/stainless body. It works great on all cooking surfaces including induction cooktops. I’ve even used it in the oven without issues since it’s oven safe.The snug-fitting vented glass lid is a nice bonus to lock in heat and moisture. The loop handles are designed to stay cool which is helpful when pulling the heavy pot on and off the stovetop. I still use potholders out of habit.My only minor complaint is the pot itself can get a bit heavy when full of liquid or food. But that’s to be expected for a stockpot this size.Cleaning is easy – foods don’t stick too badly and a little Bar Keeper’s Friend keeps the exterior shiny. It’s also dishwasher safe which is convenient for such a large pot.Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this Cook N Home stockpot! The quality, size and performance are excellent for the price. If you need a big, sturdy stockpot for larger quantity cooking, I highly recommend giving this one a look.

I made cabbage soup and it filled the pot to about an inch from the top. This is a 18-10 steel pot with aluminum inside, so you cannot immediately put on high and wait for a boil (it would likely burn at the bottom and be cold at the top). I slowly increased the temperature over a few hours, not passing medium heat. It had a perfect rolling boil at medium temp – it just took me a few hours to have the pot achieve it. Very happy with it as this pot performs very well if you allow it time for the heat to reach the top. Thank you!

Me encanta, el tamaño es perfecto y la calidad muy buena.

Muy buena calidad ya la estrené y la cocción es más rápida que con mis otras ollas y se limpia fácilmente. Mantiene lo caliente más tiempo, es decir yo apago mi comida 15 minutos antes y sigue cociéndose por ese tiempo y calienta mucho más rápido de inicio.
