All-Clad 4506 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe Stockpot with Lid/Cookware, 6-Quart, Silver by All-Clad

When you pick it up, it feels like it was built to last a life time. Love the rolled lip for cleanly pouring out things like soup.

Cooks Illustrated recommends this All Clad D3 steel 6 quart stockpot to replace the 18 pound CAST IRON Dutch oven. I am so happy I bought this! It is perfect for braising. It’s my most used pot. Anything I could make in a slow cooker I can make in the All Clad. I did buy enameled Dutch ovens in the past and I did not like how freaking heavy they are when filled with food. And that they CHIP and crack and the inner pot gets stained. So I upgraded to the lighter weight stainless steel ALL CLAD. I can’t believe I broke three enameled cast iron Dutch ovens before I found Cooks Illustrated’s recommendation. I purchased a non enameled cast iron Dutch oven for baking bread in. I love my ALL clad. It’s so easy to clean!

Excellent product, highly recommend. Very good on my induction stove. Heat up really quickly and are excellent for “waterless” cooking.

Its well made but expensive for what you get, the handle on the cover gets very hot, relative to the handles on the sides of the of the pot, which remain much cooler to the touch. So be careful.

We purchased this 6-quart stainless steel All-Clad Stock Pot to (eventually) replace our Chrissy Tiegen 4.5- quart non-stick Saute Pan. Our first meal with the All-Clad was Butter Chicken. Sauted the chicken in butter, removed, then prepared the sauce. This pan was fantastic on both - the low, wide base allowed ample room for 2 pounds of cut chicken breasts, with no crowding in the pan. The sides of the pan are truly vertical, and can accommodate a generous quantity of ingredients. For our Butter Chicken, we ended up adding in mushrooms, spinach, and several fresh tomatoes that all needed to be used. Capacity of the pan was more than adequate. Clean-up was easy; hand-washed the pan while still slightly warm. No issues cleaning the residue from the seared chicken, tomato sauce, or the cream. Interior dimensions on this are roughly 10" in diameter and 4" vertical. Dual handles make it easy to manage (the weight feels like 3, perhaps 4 pounds max). Kinda wish the lid was glass, with a steam vent, but that's just what we are used to. We simmered the Butter Chicken in full sauce with no issues. I have a feeling this will become our "go-to" pan. Very pleased with this purchase. Highly recommended.
