19L Nickel Free Stainless Steel Stockpot with Lid - Healthy & Safe Induction Cooking Pot - Mirror Polished Heavy Duty Soup Pot - 31cm Wide Large Stockpot

Brilliant for soup and great for batch cooking mashed potatoes

Giving this 5 stars but have not yet used it. After all it's a pot, what can go wrong. Given 5 stars because it arrived super quickly thanks to Amazon service. It looks perfect, is just the right size for my needs which is all sorts of liquid/sauce based foods, and to hold whole chickens, ducks, and joints providing easily enough food for 6 people. I have followed explicitly the manufacturer advice for preparing the pan for use, cleansing and seasoning to which thanks to Ken Hom I am no novice. So, tomorrow this pan will assist me making Chinese whole roast Duck, and I am looking forward to that.

The stock pot (11 litre) came in a well packaged thick cardboard box for protection. The pot looked and felt high quality out of the box, it is very sturdy! The polished finish is excellent, The bottom of the pot is very thick, unlike some others that are quite thin. I used this pot to make a stew, the stew remained hot for a long time after turning the cooker off. Food did not get burned at the bottom of the pot because of the thick bottom - with a thinner bottom pot, this happened often with me. The glass lid is very good and is very strong and well made. The pot came with a ladle and this is also well made! Guaranteed for 6 years as well - I think that it will last for a lot longer than that, as the construction, look and feel of the pot is outstanding. I am glad I bought this, I would recommend this and I am going to buy another one of a slightly smaller size. Cleaning the pot is so easy, no need to scrub the pot hard, I just used a light sponge and then only the smooth side, absolutely fantastic! Finally, I am not exaggerating when I say that this is an item of the very highest quality.

Although some of the reviews are true and once it's used and washed the bottom of the pan develops marks, this is my favourite pot to use for stews and chillis.

Biggest soup I'll ever make

Pan is great size. Not used yet but has split in Ladle

Fantastic pot that’s been perfect for stewing and canning

I followed the instructions on cleaning and treating with coconut oil before my first use. I will probably only use such a big pot for sterilising my jars and water bathing them with various contents. It took a while to heat up to boiling (it is a big pot), but once there i was able to turn the hob down to number 6 (mine is 1-9 and i usually use 7 for most things) for it to continue a rolling boil. The apple sauce turned out well and i am looking forward to trying other stuff. Only thing i would add to the seller is please can you sell a rack with handles for lifting the jars in and out of boiling water like in the canning accessory sets (the one i bought doesn't fit).
