 High end cookware Mar 22, 2007
By Greg_R
I got tired of burning my stocks with thin-walled junk pots and decided to do some research. This pot is a big improvement over the standard Cuisinart line of pots and pans and is on par with the better All-Clad pots and other high-end brands. The fit and finish on this unit is excellent and the lid fits like a glove. This is a true 3 layer walled pot... no welded discs to the bottom of the unit (like the bargain stock-pot in the All-Clad brand line-up). Compare the price of this pot with the 'real' 3-wall constructed pots and you'll see a 2-3x improvement in price. I've used this pot ~20 times since I purchased it (each time for multi-hour stock simmering) and it still looks like new. Highly recommended!

A Best Buy Mar 01, 2010
By Jeffrey L. Patten
"Bargain Counter Chef"
I'm a bargain hunter and I always look to buy the best quality I can afford for the lowest price I can find. In the February issue of "Cook's Illustrated", the America's Test Kitchen folk did an equipment review on Stock pots. They recommend a 12 quart size as being most universally useful, and that was what they tested. Unfortunately, the Cuisinart Multi-Clad wasn't one of those tested, but I think the results of what they did test speaks volumes. Their winner was All-Clad and I quote " . . . didn't have a single flaw - except a price tag over $300". Their "Best Buy" was the Cuisinart Chef's Classic, and again I quote "Very similar to All-Clad - except with a price tag well under $100". The Cuisinart Multi-Clad offers virtually the same features as All-Clad, with the aluminum core extending up the sides of the pot to provide more even heating, but like the Chef's Classic, with a price under $100. Getting top of the line features for mid-level pricing makes for a best buy in my opinion.

 Nice price on a multi-clad, but... Jan 07, 2009
By G. L. Beebe
After reading the reviews I purchased several pieces of Cuisinart MultiClad Pro equipment. They all are far superior to standard pots, thick and well made with excellent heating properties. Less heat is required with these marvelous pieces. The stainless steel holds up well and looks good even after repeated uses and cleanings. And the Cuisinart line is priced much less than All-Clad. I'm only giving three stars to this 12 quart pot though, because of all the pieces this one has begun to warp along the bottom, causing it to wobble on the rangetop. Granted, this is my pasta pot and of all the pots, this is the one that will get the boiling duties. And it's the largest, so if any were to warp it would probably be this one. But still, the warping is disappointing, especially when the other pieces have performed to well.

Great for the price but.... Mar 29, 2008
By Jimmy S. Greene
it could use a heavier lid. The lid feels a bit flimsy, but fits & works well.
The wide mouth is nicer to use than the deep models if you're making sauce or stock.
It fits in just fine with my Allclad & is easy to handle.

Not cookware - it's a work of art! Jul 06, 2009
By D. Donelson
I am completely, thoroughly impressed with this stockpot. It is built like a tank and is simply gorgeous. Just picking it up you know this is extremely high quality - it is rock solid and quite heavy. I have a Chef's Classic stock pot that seems to be made of tin foil compared to this beauty. The mirror finish and craftsmanship are superb - it really is a work of art in my opinion. Cooking in a pot like this makes the activity a special treat rather than just a routine experience one goes through to get food prepared.
Another thing I love about this pot is that even though the capacity is huge at 12 quarts the pot itself is wider (it's 11 and 1/2 inches wide) and shorter than a typical 8 quart pot. This makes it MUCH easier to stir or do any prep like browning chicken breast, meat cubes etc.
I could not possibly rate the pot higher, and to me it is definitely worth every penny and more. It's a legitimate lifetime purchase - with care I will never need to buy another pot as long as I live.
