Cuisinart 744-24 Chef's Classic Stainless Stockpot with Cover, 6-Quart,Silver

This pot is very well made just like all my other Cuisinart pots and pans. It distributes heat evenly with the heavy bottom. I have a pretty large stew pot from the set of Cuisinart pans that I already owned. This one is the perfect step in between. I have been using my set of Cuisinart for about 15 years now. Previously we had other brand name sets with Teflon that would have to be replaced in about 5 years, did not do a good sear and weren't made to go in the oven. Cast iron was not an option due to my glass top stove. I finally went for the solid stainless steel set of Cuisinart and have never regretted it. I thought that I would not like the frying pans but find that they are wonderful to use and easy to clean when you know a couple of tricks (I will share at the end.) They are excellent to sear steaks with a finish in the oven. This pot lives up to the quality of all my other Cuisinart pots and pans and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Cleaning tips: I use my skillets to sear steaks at very high heat then do a finish in a hot oven. After I remove the steaks and they are resting, I immediately put the hot pan into the sink and add water to it. This is like adding wine to your pan to 'deglaze' only this is for cleaning purposes. Then I use the spatula to scrape any stubborn bits. Most often I can get all the bits this way. For any stubborn bits and discoloration I use soft scrub; apply and let sit a few minutes then use a scrubbie. I can get the pan clean and put away before the steaks are done resting.

You can't go wrong with Cuisinart. I didn't need a set, so ordered the six quart along with the two. Looks good and cleans well.

Very happy with my purchase, feels hefty and well made, handles get hot at high heat but just wearing some over mitts helps

Love! This pot is a beauty and so functional. I used it for making pasta and chicken Alfredo and it cooked beautifully with no sticking and came out of dishwasher looking gorgeous again. Heavyweight bottom keeps it stable on my stovetop and the pot is also great for soups and stews and could also be a used for frying or in the oven. So versatile great value!

When we recently bought a new stove with an induction top, I needed a compatible soup pot but didn't want to pay for a top-chef type model, but my old one had set a pretty high bar. I chose the Cuisinart because it's a good brand, and stainless steel with no non-stick lining, and seemed very reasonably priced compared to others I looked at. Overall, I'm very happy with it. It seems somewhat lightweight for a stock pot, but it does make moving a full pot easier and safer, and it heats quickly, but I would expect that because of the induction process. My husband hasn't adjusted to the lighter weight and has a tendency to let food cook hotter and longer, so we've had some seriously burned-on bottom layers; soaking and a boil with cream of tartar has taken care of that, but it does seem harder to clean than my old, heavier stainless steel pot, hence the 4-star rating.. I've learned to be more vigilant and to stir often, and have had good results. The all metal cover sits securely on top, and we were pleased to discover it fits perfectly on the 10" Cuisinart frying pan we also bought.

Love this pot

This is NOT stainless steel. The inside of the pot developed multiple dark spots after boiling potatoes ONE time. Their own item description states “Stainless steel cooking surface does not discolor”. Since it lost silver color I multiple spots it can’t be stainless. Very disappointed. Returned defective.

When you want to boil water for pasta but don't want to use a larger stockpot, this 6 quart size is perfect. I have other Cuisinart Chef's Classic pots, so this matches the rest. The measurement graduations etched into the pot help filling to the right level. Build quality, heat distribution, and durability are on par with my other Cuisinart Chef's Classic pots.

As soon as it arrived I immediately saw something wrong. The pot is very thin at the bottom and I was already biased. The fact is that I started to boil water to make very simple rice. After I cooked the rice the pot began to have black holes in the bottom completely out of nowhere. The rice had stuck in the pot with the water inside it's absurd. I asked for a replacement and the situation was the same. Don't buy this pot because it's not worth it if you're looking for something that lasts and is non-toxic.

😃 ¡Magnífico material y del tamaño que la necesito! ¡Cumplió mis expectativas!

Excelente producto

Excelente material

La compre hace 9 meses y sigue casi impecable. La uso varias veces al mes y he seguido las instrucciones que venian en la caja para su cuidado. Dado que es de acero inoxidable y aluminio, calienta bastante rápido y no sólo no es necesario usar una flama alta, no se debe de hacer. Tiene muchas reseñas malas en Amazon gringo que alertan sobre manchas negras en la base de la olla. Por el precio que pagué ($562) me parece una buena compra. Es bastante ligera y delgada comparada con otros productos de esta índole que a pesar de ser mucho más caros la calidad es superior y bastante evidente, pero si no quieres invertir en una de estas y solo quieres una simple olla para salsas, la recomiendo al 100%
