Small Stock Pot 4 Quart Nickel Free Stainless Steel - Small 4Qt Stockpot With Glass Lid - Soup Pot Cooking Pot 4 Quart

Very nice pot. We wanted a small pot to make popcorn. This works great. Its well made and stainless steel. Has a lid too. It's a nice size, not too big and not too small. Nice add on to my pot collection

I've been using this pot for about a week now and it has met or exceeded all my expectations. There are good instructions included with the pot, as this metal has no nickel there are some potentially additional steps you may wish to do. However, I did none of that, I simply washed the pot and lid upon arrival then let it dry. Placed it on the stove and added in enough avocado oil to cover the bottom of the inside of the pot. Heated that up on high for a little less than 2 minutes and then let it cool. Wiped out the excess oil and it has been great ever since. Do things, stick. Sometimes, it is metal so yes that can happen. Is it harder to clean than any other stainless-steel pot or pan, no. Same thing, cleans up easily. I overcooked some rice and it burned to the bottom ,but I have no issue cleaning that out. Like any stainless-steel, if you need to get a mark out, simply use a little bar keepers friend powder (sold everywhere) and it will look brand new in seconds. The huge difference is, with a regular pot and bar keepers friend you can smell the nickel after cleaning, with this one - you do not. So, for a nickel-free (for your health) pot, that is sturdy, well made, comes with a lid, you really can't go wrong. I'd buy from this brand again. ===Update: I did end up damaging the pot.It's still a good pot, but never clean the bottom with anything harsh like Ajax or similar. If food is stuck, in my case rice, you need to let it soak, maybe even overnight, then clean or scrape it with a silicone scraper. The bottom is somewhat thin, so scrubbing like that will lead to seeing black marks where the metal is gone. I'll keep my stars as it is a good pot, you just have to be a bit gentle with it.

I purchased this pot because there were many occasions my 2 quart pot was too small for a dish I was making, but I didn't want to pull out our large pots and have 3/4 of the pot empty. Lo and behold I decide to buy this little number. What can I say? It seems like a great value! It does not seem flimsy and definitely feels like it will hold up to many years of cooking. The lid also looks great and obviously fits perfectly. I will be able to better judge the cooking speed and consistency in the future, but my hopes are high!

The metal is quite thin but does have some additional material on the bottom. It is not heavy duty but it has a nice finish, looks good, and works fine for what we needed.

I hate going to the mall to purchase cookware. It can be hard to track all the products and compare while standing there, but Amazon made it easier since I could shop brands online and make a less pressured choice. This item is quality, not too heavy where you cannot lift it. The pot heats slightly quicker than some of my other name brand pots. Its easy to clean as long as you do not let anything stick. We cook on gas stove and I think this pot is one of the best I have purchased. I have others that had much higher price tag, and I prefer this one for larger meals.

The stainless steel pot has a huge capacity and it is easy to clean and is a great value

This is really a great pot. I'm not a cook,but I needed a large pot for something in particular. The company goes out of its way to send helpful product and contact information. I would definitely buy more products from this company.

This is the perfect size for making soups, sauces and stews. I used it right away to make chicken soup, which includes sauteing onion and garlic, then adding 8 cups of chicken stock, chicken breast, veggies, aromatic herbs and spices and Orzo. There was more than enough room for another 4 cups of stock, which is how I will be doing it in the future. I have a glass flat top stove and it sat perfectly flat on the burner. The vented lid kept the soup from boiling over, and its metal handle was very warm to the touch, but not so hot that I had to use a pot holder to lift the lid. The two side handles were nothing more than slightly warm during the whole cooking process. I chose not to season the pot (instructions on how to do it are included, so I was happy to find that clean-up was simple because, even though the Orzo always seems to like to hit the bottom and hold on, it never stuck enough to leave bits to deal with in the sink while washing. I highly recommend this 6 quart stainless steel pot made by HOMICHEF.
