Good for the Price Aug 08, 2010
By Cheese Puff
This is neither a great pot nor a terrible one - it's more of an in-betweener. The pot doesn't seem very sturdy, but it works well for college students. I've used the pot for frying, boiling, simmering and general cooking and have had no problems with food sticking or burning. It does a great job at heating food evenly.
The handles are a bit on the large side and the glass of the lid makes noises when simply removed from the hot pot (like ice dropped in water except without the cracking), but so far I have found nothing to actually worry about. Cleaning is pretty simple. I recommend hand-washing the pot because I'm not sure how many dishwasher cycles it could handle.
I'm pleased with the pot, but like I said, anyone looking for serious cooking might want to purchase something more durable.

 Good Buy Dec 03, 2010
By Deepika
I've had this pot over a month. It's the size I wanted. The bottom is thick and the coating looks pretty good unlike some store brand non stick cookware. The base stands perfectly over the smallest electric coil of the stove. If you are looking for 4 quart single piece non stick pot, this one's for you.

Amazing Stockpot! Apr 15, 2010
By Yi Weng

Umm, It seems bigger than my imagination. Its heating capability is very good. And its special material makes it easy to wash. The manual says it shows the greatest effect with medium heat, thus I didn't dare to heat it at high heating even once, which made the overall cooking time longer.

I recommend this pot Jun 09, 2011
By Harry R. Garrett

I have no hesitation recommending this pot to others. I purchased the 8.5 Qt model. Here are some of the things you might want to know.
The knob on the lid has a ridge around the top that makes it easy to grip and control even with an oven mitt.
The handles do stay cool. Even after bringing a full pot of pasta to boil till done the handles were cool to the touch. I would still use mitts to drain to avoid contact with the pot body. But being able to grab the handles to hold the pot steady while stirring was nice.
Filled to 2/3rds full with water and 32oz of spaghetti there was still over a quarter of the depth left. That allowed me to bring the pot to boil on high with out boiling over. Unlike previous pots, there was no splash over onto the cook top. No clean up! The bottom surface is an exact match for the surface of my 9" burner on our ceramic cook top. The bottom surface is flat and sits flush with no wobbling. When bringing the water to boil there was 100% coverage of boil bubbles across the bottom and during cooking there was even boiling thru out the pasta.
The non-stick interior is as it's supposed to be, non-stick. The hammertone exterior came clean with a rinse under the faucet and wiping with a damp cloth.
The handles are large enough to get a good grip on but don't stick out as far as some of the others. A plus to, me to save some storage space.
Overall an excellent value.

 Meets Expectations Jan 05, 2011
By N. Valenti

The size is great. It's light weight. It cooks evenly. It's a great addition to my kitchen. The brand name (Imperial) on the glass lid is half removed after just one use (I wonder where those black paint flakes ended up?). The handles aren't as solid and sturdy as I was hoping for. Over all, the stockpot meets expectations.
