[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a variety of cookware (steel pans, non-stick, hard anodized, and cast iron) from a variety of brands. I am impressed with the All-Clad brand cookware. This is a rock solid, well manufactured pot. It is very durable and sturdy-not flimsy at all . and the steamer insert really makes it versatile. heavy, no flimsy pot here! It has a nice heat distribution using a gas stove and heats up rather quickly. Sometimes pots have a hot spot and thus pan does not. It’s a nice wide pot, not like some of my other pots so I noticed that I did not have any issues trying to stir a large dish. The lid fits very well-good tight fit. In addition it is made with glass so you can easily see what is going on while cooking. I’ve used the steamer several times, and it’s terrific. It sets nicely into the pot and can accommodate a large amount of produce/pasta. The handles on the side of the steamer makes it easy to take out of the pan and set aside or toss cooked produce into a bowl. The pot cleans up very easily. Instructions say the pot can be put in the dishwasher, but warns, and I agree, that nonstick coatings degrade with dishwasher use, so this pan will be washed by hand. This pan is now a staple in my kitchen. It’s a dream to use!
