All-Clad HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Stockpot 4 Quart Induction Oven Broiler Safe 500F, Lid Safe 350F Pots and Pans, Cookware Black

This is an excellent pot, just smaller than what I wanted although I do like its chubby pot. It is four quarts and I want seven or eight. Honestly you would think I would notice. However, it will make an excellent rice pot and Thanksgiving gravy pot, small soups and stock. Nothing sticks to these pots: not rice, not pasta and everything cooks evenly. Heaven from what I have been using after the fire. The All Clad hard anodized pots can also go in the oven because there isn't any plastic, just stainless steel handles, etc., and will wear well for a long time.

All-clad quality and ease of cleaning. What more could you want?

We use this every single day. It’s expensive but when you use it as much as we do, the price justifies its purchase. VERY NICE pot…I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates a quality piece of cookware.

great product

Now, I have a little extra money, it’s time for All-Clad! I love this pot! I already made split pea soup in it! I had a different brand of anodized pots from the 1990s- 2016. I never had a problem with them. Then I gave them to my son advising him for “usage.” I followed all the instructions faithfully that the manufacturer tells you to take care of them. I never had any pitting or peeling on the finish. I never had any shattered glass tops. I never had any warping. Briefly, Cold water on a HOT glass cover, will shatter that cover eventually. It’s the same thing that happens to a windshield on a car if you try to wash your car in 90° sun! Cold water in a hot pot after using it on the stove WILL WARP your pots & pans which will cause any finish on it to bubble or pit. LET THEM COOL OFF FIRST! Then wash or rinse! Btw- You can put these pots in your dishwasher but DO NOT let them go through the drying cycle. The heat from the dishwasher can warp your pots! I don’t care what the manufacturer says regarding dishwashers. I would rather be safe than sorry! NEVER! EVER use metal utensils in non-stick pots or pans. Get use to using wood, silicone or nylon utensils. Manufacturers of silicone & nylon utensils are realizing that they have been making them too thick to be of use. If you must have metal, buy the metal ones that edges are coated in silicone. Do not cut meat or any foods in your pot. Take it out and have a cutting board close by . You cannot get a thick silicone spatula under any fried foods. You must learn how to tilt your pan so the eggs or meats slide on to the spatula, then flip. Amazon carry’s dozens of new brands of these utensils. .Buy the silicone handle covers also. Stop trying to blame manufacturers because the handles are hot! It’s metal what did you expect? Invest in silicone gloves or pot holders. Basically the core of these pots are aluminum. Aluminum distributes heat fast & evenly better than any pot I’ve ever used. That’s why I always use a medium heat when cooking. That’s also why chefs use aluminum. After I gave my son my other pots, I bought a set of very heavy ‘pretty” stainless steel copper bottoms pots. PRETTY is not going to make your food taste better. I’ve been struggling with them & cleaning copper bottoms for the last five years I just gave them all to charity. All-Clad anodized are my new heros! Oh by the way I never bring these pots above a “medium” heat. I can still “seer” meat and boil water very quickly & easily. Learn how to use these pots and you will never have a problem. (PSSST I just bought the square 5qt All Clad Anodized deep fryer...I'm gonna make bread in it for Christmas!

The pot arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. My only complaint is the handles get hot and you need to use pot holders.

High quality easy cleaning

I needed to replace my old pot as it was chipping inside on the bottom. This pot is the perfect size. I haven’t had a chance to put it away as I have been putting in it every day from Cranberry spiced tea to Cajun Alfredo shrimp. I knew the brand as such knew it would last forever so it will be worth every dime. It also won’t have any chips to injest. Problem solved in the most perfect way. This pot is a run back into a burning building to snag it great!
