Carbon Steel Blue Stockpot with Lid, 9 QT, Blue

I recently bought a 16 quart pot and it was just too big. My daughter wanted something large to do canning with and so I gladly gave it to her and downsized to this. It perfect for soups and stews and I am impressed by its quality. Perfect enameled coating, hefty, good heat distribution and cleans up easily. Many enameled steel vessels are white inside and its not long before stained scratches in the enamel surface show up on the inner surface bottom. I like the dark blue coloring inside and out to keep the vessel looking good. Cleans up nicely, looks great and much easier to store than my giant pot it replaced. A quality piece of cookware made in Europe that I'm proud to own, and its a joy to use. Five star all around.

I have the blue Dutch oven and I love the appearance and the performance, so I was over the moon to see a companion stock pot. They are so beautiful, but also superior in doing what they are meant to do - cook well and clean up easily.

One of my best pots. Metal rim protector around lid and top of pot is awesome. I don't have to worry about chipping it when I put the lid on. Plus, lid seals all the steam inside when cooking. This is THE original dutch oven and it's made in Germany. I would buy more.

First of all, I love the color! FINALLY, sturdy Colbalt blue cook ware. I just wish they made a larger one, dutch ovens and sets of pans. Very good weight to it. I love to make soups, and this is super for that. But what I was really happy with is the way a 4 pound pork shoulder roast cooked evenly and came out better than they ever did in the Analon pans I'd been using for the past 20 years! I gave them up because of the link of non-stick coatings and thyroid problems. I, have developed thyroid issues over the years.... I have no proof that the pans I used did this, but the coincidence was striking to me. I would recommend this stock pot to anyone!

Best stock pot I’ve ever owned!

The only thing this pot is missing is a vent hole so it doesn't constantly make noise while it simmers. Other than that it's excellent.

Food get stuck on the bottom.

We cook at high temps. Burners up to 690 degrees Fahrenheit and bake at up to 460 degrees. This stockpot looks great and heats evenly. No comp. Would by again.
