Cuisinart MCP66-28N MultiClad Pro Stainless 12-Quart Skillet Stockpot w Cover

I love this pot! Its thick bottom is made to prevent burning or scorching. I use it for hug pots of homemade tomato sauces, jams, and cooking bone broth for 24+hours. I've been using it for over a year. Well worth the money. Great value!! Read more

This pot is perfect for large batches of soup. No worries about liquids slouching out when you stir, which makes stove cleanup time so much easier. Might have to adjust dishwasher to accommodate its size, but it’s worth the effort to do so. Read more

This is a good, solid pot, quite similar to the All Clad d5 series, which I also own. Most All Clad cookware will work with induction cooktops, but several of the larger pots do not (be careful in your research if you are considering one). I have an 8 quart All Clad d5 pot, but I needed a 12 quart pot. The 12 quart All Clad pots that do work with induction are much more expensive than this Cuisinart pot. So, I bought this Cuisinart 12 quart pot. This Cuisinart pot is handsome, solid, and roughly of the same weight as the All Clad d5 line. After using this 12 quart Cuisinart pot and the very similar 8 quart All Clad d5 pot all day yesterday, I notice two minor differences. The top of the All Clad pot fits better and due to its design, seems to capture and direct condensation a little more effectively: when I lift the top off the All Clad all the condensation will drop back in the pot; when I lift the top off the Cuisinart I get water all over the stove top. A minor issue that may well just be my clumsiness. Second, the rivets holding the handles to the pots seem to be better made in the All Clad line: after minor use the rivets in the All Clad still look new; the rivets on the inside of the Cuisinart are already pitted and worn (perhaps from the acid in my chili?? But I had the same chili in both pots.). This also seems minor to me -- the handles are solid and the rivets tight and strong. A little pitting seems cosmetic and minor. All in all, this is a fine piece of cookware at a very reasonable price. Read more

This is an outstanding stockpot on all counts. Obviously you buy a 12-quart pot for big jobs, and I have been able to process as much as 35 pounds of tomatoes for sauce in one batch. After filling it right to the rim, I leave it on the stove to simmer until it reduces by half, then pour it into my matching 6-quart for making pasta sauce. My tomatoes never stick, and the rivets are pristine and obviously real stainless steel, so whatever was going on with the rivets in earlier manufacturing runs has been addressed. The lid fits perfectly and tightly; the handles are cool and extremely ergonomically friendly; the cooking is superbly even; the pouring lip is neat and effective; it cleans with exceptional ease, and though it wasn't the dealmaker, this really is beautiful cookware. I would take a dish to a party in this. It costs significantly less than All-Clad and the handles are much better than those on All-Clad, although they are still designed so that you can easily grip them while pouring. As far as I can tell, the only reason to choose All-Clad over these (other than the Made in USA designation) is that some have said the MultiClad Pro series doesn't work as well as All-Clad on induction. I don't have induction so I can't speak to that. But certainly all my MultiClad Pro pieces so far have remained perfectly flat. These are solid pieces. It cleans up easily, but if I ever have any spots I just take a quick dab of Barkeeper's Friend to it and it looks like new again. I think you need to be prepared to do that with any stainless steel cookware. Some folks seem to think "stainless" means it always looks like new with no care at all, while in fact that just means it shouldn't rust. It's still by far the most "easy-care" cookware out there. I love mine. Read more

Quisinart never fails to impress, this stock pot is no exception. Solid construction, high quality stainless easy to clean and heats very evenly and efficiently. All of our kitchenware is Quisinart, have had it for years and we love it! Read more

I love this pot! It has become my go-to for soups and stews. Perfect capacity, heats evenly, and holds the heat well. I particularly like the height-to-width profile, facilitating all-in-one cooking. For instance, initial vegetable saute steps can be done in this pot because it isn't too deep to allow steam to escape (mushiness). My deeper stockpots are also hareder to see into and more difficult to stir. A great value that I look forward to using for years. Read more
