All-Clad
Features:
8-quart pot for simmering stocks, soups, and poaching poultry
Three-ply: stainless-steel layers sandwich pure aluminum core for even heating
Comfortable lid and stay-cool pot handles riveted for strength
Product Description: Trust All-Clad's stainless steel stock pots to cook soups, stews, pasta and stocks to mouth-watering perfection. However large or small your gathering, there is a stock pot that's "just right", as Goldilocks would say. Stainless steel outside and inside with a layer of heat conducting aluminum in between yield a pot that heats quickly and evenly, doesn't react with food, and maintains its good looks over a lifetime of service.
Amazon.com Review: The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior is a thick aluminum core that spreads heat evenly across the bottom of the pan and all the way up its sides. The interior is 18/10 stainless steel, highly polished so it's stick- as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.
This 8-quart stockpot makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless is so popular. Though not classically tall and narrow, it simmers soups and stocks and accommodates enough ragu Bolognese to feed all the relatives. And it's ideal for braising foods on the stovetop or in the oven under its polished lid. Because of the aluminum core on the bottom, foods cook uniformly, even though the pot is 5 inches deep (11 inches in diameter). And because the interior is nonreactive, tomatoes and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Its lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. A rolled edge facilitates dripless pouring. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack
From the Manufacturer All-Clad Stainless Construction Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.
Features and Benefits All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:
Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have "hot spots" when cooking.
Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.
Warranty From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.
Cleaning Instructions For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

Rating: - ALL-CLAD can't be beat!
All-Clad is the very best and most of their pans are compatible with Induction cooking I had the 6qt so I ordered all the larger pieces that had the aluminum core. I never like to cook in the exact size pan. I like to have ample extra room in the pan. I think the other is a 12 qt. and I have the steam insert that fits all those pans.
Rating: - Do You Have to Spend Big Money for a Big Pot?
OK, I am cheating here a bit by cutting and pasting a recent equipment review by the magazine Cook's Illustrated/PBS show America's Test Kitchen. This is a long review, so if you want to cut to the chase, just scroll to the last paragraph before the listing of the individual reviews.
Here in the test kitchen, we have 15 stockpots of varying sizes, and we use them often. Most home kitchens, however, have room for a single stockpot, so it must handle a variety of big jobs-from steaming ... Read More
Rating: - Fits my needs to a Tee! Buy It!
I got this pot to replace an old 5 quart teflon lined aluminum pot of similar shape but with plastic handles, which kept it from the oven without extraordinary measures. The old pot simply did not heat up very quickly or evenly and it's dark interior made it more difficult to see what was going on with braises or pasta cooking.
So, I was often lugging out my 8 quart Le Creuset dutch oven when the smaller lighter pot would be the perfect size, but for the plastic handles.
Rating: - My pasta pot!!!
I use this pot for cooking pasta. I have the multicooker, but this is a better size for one person. It's much easier to manage. As with all things All Clad, it has superior heating technology -- heats fast and evenly. Clean up is a breeze because it's dishwasher safe. A little polish keeps it bright and shiny.
Rating: - A Co-Dependent Relationship
I'm unnaturally dependent on my All Clad 8 quart -- so much so that I bought a second. Soup cooks like a dream in it, and it's great for making stock -- wide enough to brown the chicken and onions before adding the water. Unlike my old cruddy Revereware, you don't get great globs of stuck stuff on the sides that forces you to lose arm muscle scrubbing it off. Cleaning is easy with All Clad-- a must for someone without a dishwasher. Will this addiction ever cease??!!!
