 Less metal, same low price! Jan 11, 2010
By Tony

I purchased a 14 piece Emeril Stainless set in 2008, and I have been very happy with it. The fit, finish and especially the base design were all up to the demands of my GE Profile ceramic cooktop, which had mercilessly warped all pans that came before the Emeril set. At the time, the Emeril Stainless was an excellent alternative to spending megabucks on All Clad.
I recently purchased this 8 qt tall stock pot. When it arrived, I was disappointed to see that a number of changes have been made in the product. The handle, lid and base design have all been modified, and in each case, the appearance, heft and quality have been reduced. Most alarming is the changes in the base. The weight and thickness of the base has been reduced significantly (30-40%). There is no getting around the fact that mass of the base matters. It affects the distribution of heat in the pan, and how resilient the pan will be to abuse.
It might be one thing if this was my first piece of Emeril Stainless. Unfortuanley, I have seen what the product was two years ago and I am dissappointed.

 Versatile and sturdy Jul 03, 2010
By Paul Gifford
This pot has been a great addition to my cookware collection. I like that it's tall rather than wide - it fits perfectly on the burner. The thick base, with copper, hasn't warped...it sits flat on the burner and allows heat to transfer quickly. The handles, though metal, stay cool. A nice touch is the inside is marked with liquid measures, in half-quart and half-liter increments. The pot and lid are oven safe, so I can use it to cook baked beans all in one pot.
I don't know how the pots were constructed a couple of years ago, but this pot has a nice heavy feel...I can't imagine it being heavier or thicker unless it was cast iron.

Love this stock pot Feb 05, 2010
By J. Hahne
I bought this pot about a year ago. It's the first time I've spent this much money on one pot and the first Emeril cookware I've owned. I absolutely love it. It heats up quickly, and maintains an even heat. The handles are still cool after simmering soup for over an hour. (Lid handle gets hot, tho). And when I pour out of it, no dribbles! I even use it when one of my smaller no stick pots will do just because I like the speed that it heats. Am planning to buy some more to replace my non-stick pans, one by one as they wear out.

The appearance and heft of this stock pot is wonderful. I was
prepared to collect other pieces of Emeril cookware until I
read on the box that it was made in China.
