HOMICHEF Stock Pot 8 Quart with Lid Nickel Free Stainless Steel - Mirror Polished Stockpot 8 QT with Lid - HEALTHY COOKWARE Stockpots 8 Quart - Soup Pot for Induction Cooktop

Good, solid pot with handles and a lid. Nice weight to it. Mine came with a surprise stainless steel cleaner package. I use the pot strictly to make iced tea, so it gets a stain around the inside. Super easy to throw in the dishwasher to get clean. It works perfectly for me and the handles on the side are strong and the right size. My only note is that there are "bumps" inside the pot where the handles are solidly attached. No way around that, you have to screw the handles in, but it can take a little effort to clean around those bumps when hand washing. Not a problem, just needed to point it out. Certainly not a deterrent for purchasing, the pot is great.

I've been using this pot for about a week now and it has met or exceeded all my expectations. There are good instructions included with the pot, as this metal has no nickel there are some potentially additional steps you may wish to do. However, I did none of that, I simply washed the pot and lid upon arrival then let it dry. Placed it on the stove and added in enough avocado oil to cover the bottom of the inside of the pot. Heated that up on high for a little less than 2 minutes and then let it cool. Wiped out the excess oil and it has been great ever since. Do things, stick. Sometimes, it is metal so yes that can happen. Is it harder to clean than any other stainless-steel pot or pan, no. Same thing, cleans up easily. I overcooked some rice and it burned to the bottom ,but I have no issue cleaning that out. Like any stainless-steel, if you need to get a mark out, simply use a little bar keepers friend powder (sold everywhere) and it will look brand new in seconds. The huge difference is, with a regular pot and bar keepers friend you can smell the nickel after cleaning, with this one - you do not. So, for a nickel-free (for your health) pot, that is sturdy, well made, comes with a lid, you really can't go wrong. I'd buy from this brand again. ===Update: I did end up damaging the pot.It's still a good pot, but never clean the bottom with anything harsh like Ajax or similar. If food is stuck, in my case rice, you need to let it soak, maybe even overnight, then clean or scrape it with a silicone scraper. The bottom is somewhat thin, so scrubbing like that will lead to seeing black marks where the metal is gone. I'll keep my stars as it is a good pot, you just have to be a bit gentle with it.

What a versatile, wonderful little stockpot!! It's big enough but not too big, so it can be used in a new household for just about anything, from warming leftovers to boiling pasta. The stainless steel is flawless now, heavy enough to impress me at this price. Whether or not it scratches or gets minor spots is not important to me, since I've cooked for many years with stainless steel and I love it despite the fact that it doesn't always and forever remain mirror-bright. Haven't had a chance to cook with it yet, but it seems very well made--especially for this price! This was purchased for a friend, so I'm thinking of ordering another for myself right away.

I have used this to boil a stock pot of soup, stew and pasta. No stains either despite what I've put this through. When it is placed near the other stainless steel pots and pans I previously purchased, it fits right in and would not have noticed it to cost way less than the name brands next to it. This 4qt is a good fit for a smaller quantity of items. 8-10 serving of stew but again it depends on who you are feeding. The handle stays cool to touch and easy and comfortable to handle, I am not worried about it tipping over. While it is not as thick as a dutch oven, construction seems strong and appears to thus far have not had any scratches even though I've used metal spoons.

Using as a replacement bottom for our steamer basket. Fits well, works well, great for making soup. Handles are sturdy, no staining.

This pot fits perfectly as a double boiler. It cleans well, looks great & I got it right away! I boiled milk to make cheese with this pot. It held a little over 2 gallons. 🥰

I absolutely love the HOMICHEF line of Nickel Free Stainless Steel pots. As someone who has extreme sensitivity to nickel, these pots are a lifesaver. This 6 quart stock pot completes my collection (for now). It is just the right size and is made of quality nickel-free stainless steel. The lid fits not just this pot but is versatile and works on several other brands of pots and pans. It is burn resistant, but if you do burn it, just be patient. It may take several rounds of adding soapy water topped off with dishwasher detergent to loosen the burn. Your pot is NOT ruined. Use a non-scratch scouring pad or brush. (Scrub Daddys work great for this). Let the pan soak and warm it up a bit on the burner with the soap and detergent mix. It WILL come clean. PROS: Nickel Free Reasonably priced Great Customer Service Various sizes to meet your every need. See through glass lid - lets you monitor your cooking CONS: There are NONE. NONE, NADA, ZILCH I would absolutely recommend to a friend. I've already got my eye on buying a set for one of my kids for college and they're only 16.

I've purchased cookware sets, and 3 times, individual items from this vendor, Homichef. I have used their products for several months now and I'm one hundred percent satisfied and happy with them! There's a little bit of a learning curve on the seasoning process, but it's easy as can be, just slightly different from the old standard way, but IT WORKS! You can do your skillets and pots with this process and I recommend you do that, however, with the pots its not necessary. I was amazed that you really can lower the temperature setting and it cooks just as fast. This stuff is an EXCELLENT conductor of heat. There's really nothing bad I've found about any of these items since I got them! And, nickel free, Stainless Steel, they're safer than most things on the market. The price is good and I'll eventually have NOTHING but Homichef in my cookware. HIGHLY recommend these pots and pans!
