T-fal A9227964 Specialty Nonstick 8-Quart Stockpot Dishwasher Safe Stock Pot Cookware, Blacksuperusa

We make a lot of soups and had been using a stainless steel soup pot. But we found that if you have some pasta in your soup and are re-heating it, you must watch closely and stir often or the pasta will stick to the bottom of the pot. This is a real pain to clean so we invested in this non-stick pot just in case. It is a smaller diameter than we were used to and a bit taller but we find it to be just great. My research showed that the T-Fal lining is better than some of the others which tend to flake off.

I have owned my T-fal stock pot for 2 years and I love it so much I purchased 3 more for my daughtes and daughter-in-law. It is heavy metal and has a very good non-stick finish. It is a slightly smaller diameter than most dutch oven pans that come with a set so it fits well on the large burner of a stove. It is deep enough to make that big pot of soup, stew, noodles, etc and not boil over. The glass lid has a steam hole which is great for simmering. Recommend to every cook. You,ll wonder what you ever did without it.

I purchased this 8 quart T-Fal stock pot for my canning needs. I use it for salsa, jelly, etc. I have only used it for this one season, so I do not know how it will hold up in the long run, but so far I am very satisfied with its performance. I do not agree with the 2 star rating as being lightweight. I think it is a respectably heavy pot, and I love the see-through vented glass lid and the silicone handles.

It's been about a year. I still like the pot, however, the non-stick coating shows signs of wear with little "dots" of the pan surface showing through on the bottom, even though I have used only coated or wooden utensils for stirring. This is disappointing as I cannot afford to replace a pot like this every year.
