AVACRAFT Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Stockpot with Glass Strainer Lid, Side Spouts, 6 Quart Multipurpose Sauce Pot

Love these! This is my 2nd purchase of this item (try-ply full body - 6 qrt stockpot). Because it's wider & the heat distribution is so good, the apples for applesauce cook down more quickly & evenly top to bottom than several other quality stainless steel pans that I have (even better than the AVACRAFT 7 quart, Pasta Pot w Strainers). I prefer it over even that one. It also heats up water (for pasta) faster (induction cooktop), though maybe not as fast as my Instant Pot does on 'sauté'. Also love the lid strain & pour feature & that it has measurement marks for water level inside the pan. High quality & beautiful design too. Love almost all my Avacraft pans.Discovered that it was easier to use 2 of these smaller 6 quart tri-ply full body covered stockpot pans vs 1 huge pot to cook-down the apples. Their better heat distribution works faster & reduces the chances of scorching the bottom or having to turn/stir the apples excessively & also reduces the amount of water needed to start the apples cooking initially to less than 1/8 cup (compared to using one huge pot).Steam canning worked better too vs water-bath (less heat in the kitchen, faster processing time w getting up to heat & better flexibility w not having to put in a full 7 quarts each time because of water level). This pan (along w my VICTORIO VKP1130 steam or waterbath canner which can also be used as a big cookpot) has been a game-changer for processing large quantities of apples/fruit or acidified produce (like pickles/tomatoes) quickly w less mess & heat in the kitchen.I should also mention that my (VICTORIO VKP1130 steam canner) is now being sold under a different name (Kitchen Crop VKP Brands), but if you search by either of those names, the stockpot steam canner should come up that I like. It will show two different styles of steam canners for them, but I prefer the stockpot style as it has more uses. It can be used as a steam canner or a waterbath canner or a large cookpot for cooking down tomatoes', etc (more versatile), well worth the small increase in price over the other one (heavier duty too). Just remember w steam canners that you have to watch the water level, but I've noticed w mine that it doesn't go down very fast because of the lid.

this is the second pan I ordered, the first one was the two 1/2 quart pan and we use it all the time. Cleans up great and looks great after cleaning. I love the lid, the fact I can strain with it and saves on cleaning a colander which is very handy.

Wonderful I was able to cook my noodles and drain in the sink without using a strainer because the put has it built in the lid and pour spouts on the pan. Was light weight enough for this older handicapped user. Very happy with this purchase

This stockpot is very sturdy, which I love. The lid is tight fitting and great for draining pasta, it worked beautifully when I made spaghetti noodles. I was able to drain the water and keep the noodles in the pot, then, I simply poured my prepared meat sauce over the top of the noodles.I have also used this stock pot to prepare soups, it is the perfect size (6qt) for a smaller family, four adults are in our home. I love the glass lid so I can keep an eye on whatever I'm cooking.It's not recommended to wash in the dishwasher, I washed mine by hand and had no trouble, as it cleans up nicely.I would recommend this to everybody, it's well worth the price!

This pot is NOT as heavy as it states on the description here on Amazon. I am a small person and have no problem lifting it EMPTY. It did have one gauge on it but I don't have my dishes here so I have to live with it. Needed a heavy bottom pot for candy making and this was fine. The glass lid did water spot stain after only the first hand wash. So I will have to get some lime-a-way to remove them. Absolutely gorgeous design and excellent polish. I would categorize this as PROFESSIONAL-QUALITY-COOKWARE ♥️

Nice stew pot, meets my needs. Ideally, I would prefer that the handles not be made of silicone as these felt slimy right out of the box.

This little pot is so cute and useful that it has almost gotten me to like cooking again. It is a useful size, the draining lid works great, and the way it cleans up are all pluses to me.

Haven't used but candy season kicks into high now and 1 of mine needs to be retired. Love spouts, weight, nice lid and good price.
