Great pot for fair price, (What's this?) Very sturdy, wonderful useful size, and a good value for the money. Don't spend extra for the similar All Clad pot. This one is fabulous.
Great pot for large meals, (What's this?) Really like this pot - holds a lot and you can see the copper base - i had purchased an Emmerill pot that was one size smaller and i dont see the copper banding on hte base -makes me wonder if it is there.
Big por for big meals, (What's this?) My wife bought a 10 piece set of Emerilware and when we had a family gathering, decided that she needed a bigger pot. This was a good time because I had no idea what to get her for Christmas. She opened this on Christmas Eve and used it Christmas Day and was very happy with it. Thanks Emeril.
Cheap because, It's made in China. All-Clad may market the Emeril brand and may have even made some of it but this stock pot is Chinese. That explains why it's do thin, light, and cheap. I called the Al Clad/Emeril consumer information line and verified this. There's no telling what goes into the metal China exports. I'll stick with US made when I cook my family's food in it.
Versatile and sturdy, 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.
Love this stock pot, 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.
Nice size and design but very poor quality, (What's this?) After one use the coating at the bottom of the pot started to peel off. I returned the item and requested a replacement. Today the new pot arrived with a scratch at the bottom and some indentations on the sides. I will request a refund this time.
still a good deal, (What's this?) I read Tony "Fuzzbass"'s review with much trepidation because, like him, I had bought this stockpot in its previous incarnation and found it to be an excellent bargain. I was disappointed, but not surprised, when I got my new one to find that it had been redesigned (or should I say de-designed) just as he had described. Not only is it less substantial than before, but the handles are significantly less comfortable and cheaper-feeling. Even so, having scoured Amazon from top to bottom, I think this pot is still a good bargain, and it's serviceable for those of us who don't feel like dropping $200 or whatever on a single pot and who don't have extremely exacting stovetops to deal with.
valerie, (What's this?) 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.
Less metal, same low price!, (What's this?) 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.
