(More customer reviews)I bought this pot to replace a beloved enameled cookpot that had seen better days. My old pot was cheap, but saw daily use for eight years. I was looking for something colorful and solidly made that didn't weigh a ton. It needed to be "friendly" enough to handle daily, and be nice enough to leave on the cooktop. This stockpot is fantastic. The happy color and the weight is just right--it really is a beauty. Everything-soup, pasta, rice-has turned out famously in this pot. Clean up is a snap; even stuck on pasta comes right off after a 5 minute soak. On one occasion, some soup stock became burned onto the outside and underside if the pot and it cleaned right off with a gentle scrubbing using a non-abrasive scrub sponge. The higher profile helps prevent boil-overs and is roomy without being a monster. In addition, it looks great left out on the cooktop!
I noticed some reviewers were disappointed to see the origin of the pot, but I don't think the quality has been compromised. I have never used or owned a French made Le Creuset product because the price has always been out of my reach, so perhaps there are quality nuances that I am unfamiliar with. I am happy to be able to have such a fine cookpot at a price I could manage, and look forward to many years and many meals with my cheery new stockpot.

A useful addition to any busy kitchen, this covered stock pot measures approximately 9 by 12 by 10 inches and holds up to 6 quarts at a time. Use it for making lentil soup, vegetarian chili, homemade marinara sauce, and much more--it's the perfect size for serving up to four people. Constructed of heavy-gauge carbon steel and double coated with hard, bright enamel, the stockpot coordinates with Le Creuset's famed enameled cast-iron cookware in the French manufacturer's handsome colors, and it's as welcome in the dining room as a serving vessel as it is in the kitchen on the stovetop (safe to use with all cook-top types, including induction). The stockpot features a steel rim to prevent chipping, a secure-fitting lid to help trap heat and moisture, a stay-cool lid knob, and two side loop handles for secure transport (use oven mitts when hot). The stockpot should not be used in the oven, microwave, or dishwasher. To clean, simply wash the interior and exterior of the stockpot by hand with soap and water and dry thoroughly. The cookware carries a 101-year limited warranty.
