Amazon Basics Stainless Steel Induction Compatible Stock Pot with Glass Lid, Oven Safe, Dishwasher Safe, Sturdy, 8 Quart, Silver

I bought this stainless steel stock pot in October 2024, and it’s been a great addition to my kitchen. I use it on a gas stove, and it heats up quickly and cooks evenly, whether I’m making soups, stews, or boiling pasta. The size is perfect for larger batches and meal prep without feeling too bulky. The stainless steel feels sturdy and well-made, and the handles are secure when lifting. I also like the glass lid since I can check on food without removing it. It’s easy to clean and has held up really well after months of regular use. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable pot that’s great for everyday cooking.

I used this literally to make stock, as I was learning how to process a whole chicken. No surprises here, this pot is exactly what it says, and for a great price. I was pleasantly surprised by the solid and heavy base which helps distribute the heat. Also by the quality of the handles, which looked cheap in the photos, but which are solid and sturdy, and well-attached. It's a little bigger than I expected, which is a good thing. It functions exactly as expected, looks great, and so far shows no rust or bimetallic corrosion anywhere. You could pay more, but I don't know why you would.

I like this pot, its a heavy bottom and made from 304 stainless steel the highest quality. I made stock for turkey soup with no scorching of the bottom with even heat across. Clean up was easy I just place it in the dishwasher and that was it. It came out clean with no scrubbing! I compared this to the higher price models but this performed just as well at a lower cost.

Great pot. It heats up quickly and cleans very easily. So far, no scratches or rust, even after tossing it into the sink with other dishes. It feels durable and well made. The lid is also a nice bonus. I actually use it on some of my other pots because it fits well. Solid everyday stock pot.

Great pot, no complaints whatsoever. I think the people who have issues with this pot discoloring need to learn how to regulate heat better. I don’t let my wife use my cookware for that exact reason. I needed a a pot a bit larger than 6wt stock pots and this one was perfect for the price. I’ve used this stock pot for soups, pastas, chili, and strawberry preserves with no problems on cleaning up and no discoloration.

I like it, for the most. Unfortunately, the bottom started pitting (I use it with salt, though this happened within the first few uses, the rust color and tiny blemishes). They aren't particularly deep or troublesome (yet, hopefully ever), but otherwise, it is a quality product. I've just never seen a pot get the rust spots and micro-pits that quickly. But! If you need a cheaper cooking pot of this size, It's well worth it. It won't fall apart or do a bad job, and for the price (I believe it was $35 at the time, if I remember correctly), it is an extremely good value. I'm stuck between giving it a 3-star or 4-star review, as it seems more a cosmetic issue, though a surprise.

Good size to make sauces, soups, etc. Easy to handle. Love the glass lid. Easy to clean. Excellent purchase!!

Best stock pot I've ever had. It's strong and sturdy. Well made. It's easy to use and easy to clean. I love that I can use metal utensils and it doesn't scratch. It just looks fancy. I would highly recommend! 10/10

Good pot, i use it to cook stock. Whole chicken fits well

Ho acquistato questa pentola in acciaio inox Amazon Basics per due motivi principali: cucinare abbondanti quantità di pasta, in particolare pasta ripiena o fresca, e preparare minestre o brodo. Devo dire che per cucinare grandi porzioni di pasta è davvero ottima. La utilizzo spesso quando siamo circa sei persone a tavola e fa perfettamente il suo lavoro, garantendo spazio e facilità di cottura. Inoltre, la uso anche per preparare minestre, perché essendo in inox e senza rivestimento antiaderente posso tranquillamente usare il frullatore a immersione direttamente nella pentola senza paura di danneggiarla. Il peso è adeguato, né troppo pesante né troppo leggero, il che garantisce una buona stabilità. La pentola distribuisce il calore in modo uniforme, permettendo una cottura ottimale. La qualità complessiva è buona, considerando anche il prezzo molto competitivo. È una pentola molto capiente che viene spedita con il coperchio, il che la rende ancora più comoda per l’uso quotidiano. In generale, sono molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto: un'ottima pentola per chi ha bisogno di preparare grandi quantità di cibo senza rinunciare a una buona qualità e a un prezzo conveniente. Pro ✅ Ottima per cucinare grandi quantità di pasta o minestre. ✅ Facile da usare con il frullatore a immersione grazie alla superficie in inox. ✅ Buon peso, stabilità e distribuzione uniforme del calore. ✅ Viene spedita con il coperchio. ✅ Prezzo competitivo per una pentola di queste dimensioni e qualità.

Very good for the price , would recommend

This is a superb quality pot for a good price. The steel is thick, the rivets seriously sturdy, and the lid fits very well. The glass lid is decent and the steam vent ideal for boiling up soup and stew. The pot is not overly heavy, and scrubs up super clean with no sticky residue. No rust evident after 4 uses, so looks great and I'm sure will be great in several month's time. The pot volume is perfect for a 6-8 person meal, or fewer folks plus leftovers. I am really happy with my purchase and recommend the pot as a great addition to anyone's kitchen.

Nice roomy pot for soup and stews. Construction is solid and the bottom is thick.
