The tapered rim of the pot allows easy pouring. For superior, even heating, an aluminum disk is encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel in the base. The stockpot measures 9 inches high and 11 inches in diameter; 14-1/2 inches including handles. Cuisinart covers the pot with a limited lifetime warranty.--Ann Bieri

"Nice looking but stains -- as others have noted" 2010-05-09
By anonymous (California)
Beautiful out of the box and good heat distribution, but we've had the problem other reviewers noted: stains (possibly rust) on the inside, starting after the first use. And in general pot seems difficult to clean versus similar pots we've use. It has been cared for gently. Amazon's return policy is good but Cuisinart must know of the rust problem and puts the onus on the trusting customer. Consider Ross or Marshalls for low-key low-price cookware purchases.

"souper star!" 2010-04-14
By A. Sanders (Baltimore, Maryland)
Perfect size for a big batch of soup or a pound of pasta. Heats evenly, handles stay relatively cool, the top fits well. I agonized over which size to get, and the 8 quart is perfect for a family of four. I'm glad I got it and use it frequently.

"Very nice but takes forever to heat up" 2010-04-13
By Mangino
Only complaint is it takes quite a long time to heat up water with this pot. We have an 8 quart Cephalon which heats much quicker. But for the price its a good pot.

"Love this cookware" 2010-03-21
By R. Shelly (Pennsylvania)
I purchased a full set of Cuisinart Chef's Classic cookware several years ago and love it so when I needed a larger stockpot I, of course, ordered this one. I make a lot of homemade soup and this stockpot is the perfect size. It works beautifully on my flat stovetop and looks great when it comes out of the dishwasher. I highly recommend this cookware!!!

"Love it" 2010-02-14

Love this product and all things from Cuisinart. I make a lot of soups and this pot is perfect. Heavy and good construction I would recomend to anyone......I also bought the Tri-Clad Cusinart Pots and Pans and couldn't be happier. I've always used just mismatched pots and pans and now have a beautiful set......Thanks to Amazon and Cusinart.
