   Lid shattered. I had the pot in the fridge with leftover soup and heated up the food today on low. Was able to reheat food no problem but the top shattered after I left the pot on the stove to cool down. Weird thing was heat was entirely off and the lid wasnt sealed with the pot. But it still shattered with a loud pop. I recommend using this lid sparingly as the pot is still really nice!

   I actually read through the instruction booklet before using. It says not to cook on high heat. Very first use, after cleaning– I boiled 2 cups of pasta on medium heat, it took 5-10 minutes longer than on high. I had the glass lid on most of the time. When pasta was boiling, I uncovered a bit to let steam escape. After pasta was done, I turned off the heat, and poured the pasta into a colander to drain. I returned the pasta to the pot to keep warm, and set it back on the burner (now off). I guess my fateful choice was to put the glass lid back on top. Several minutes later, I heard an awful pop. The lid had shattered, and sent glass all over the range. Thank goodness no shards got into my sauce, which was cooking with a vented lid. I took a photo as proof, and have attached to this review. Shame on Cuisinart for not providing a vented glass lid with this pot.

   I was looking for a stock pot that was between my largest sauce pot and the larger stock pot we already had. This is the perfect size to keep in our cabinet and use every day. It’s only the two of us and this is great to use for everything from smaller amounts of soup to noodles to stews and beyond. The bottom is good and heavy so you run little risk of burning anything and having it stick to the bottom. Great purchase, super happy with it!

   Great, durable pot. Very well constructed and the perfect size for cooking pasta.

   Good but not as good as the ones I already had. After washing and drying it, there’re always spots on the bottom inside. I’m not as happy as I was when I found a Cuisinart on this size. I would give 3 1/2 stars if I could.

   I am very pleased with the quality of this stock pot. It is well made and a nice weight.

   The glass lid exploded the first time I used it. Shattered pieces of glass went into the soup and all over the kitchen.

   I have had a chance to use the pot a few times now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I am just a home cook, but I have been so for many years now and I generally know what I’m doing. While I could have spent many times the price of the Cuisinart, I do not think I would have gained much advantage by doing so unless it was accompanied with a better cook. The pot has a nice heavy layered bottom which is helpful in not scorching momentarily ignored foods. That was my main criteria for selecting the Cuisinart. My second desire was large grip-able handles that are easy to use safely.
   I have made “meaty” soups and a couple sauces and the pot has not failed me and I expect it to last until someone inherits it from me.

    I don’t know what to say on steel pots and pans. This is the first one I’ve ever had rust on me. I’ve had this for only a month and I keep it clean and dry. I called Cuisinart and they do not cover rust. It cooks well and the heat distribution is fantastic. I like the tall format. A lot of 6 quart pots are wide. Clearly the stainless steel used on this pot is not as high quality as can be found elsewhere.

    I Bought this May 6, 2018, and use it about once a week, I love this Stockpot. It still looks like new. The bottom is still flat as it should be. I would buy again or give as a gift. I would also recommend this to others. I will post more if needed.

    Update: I have been using this since May and so far it is my favorite pan. I love the quality and the way it heats up and cleans up, it still looks like it did the first time I used it.
    My wife was complaining about a high pitch screeching noise, which only some people can hear, if I warm the pot up slowly it doesn’t make the noise.
    Update…I still love the pot but the lid makes noises like it is popping and cracking, warming up or cooling off. I can not get the company to answer any of my questions, they won’t respond. I hope you have better luck than me.
