I absolutely love the height of this 6.75 qt. stainless steel Dutch oven! It’s perfect for boiling pasta, potatoes, and even ears of corn — the deeper design makes cooking so much easier than with a wider, shorter pot that is still a 6.75 qt. The handles are sturdy and comfortable, the lid fits beautifully, and the smooth edges give it such a high-quality feel. This Dutch oven has quickly become one of my favorite pieces in the kitchen that is a nice weight — definitely a 5-star purchase!

I bought the stainless Dutch oven as a lighter alternative to cast iron, that I could also use over an open fire if wanted. I have not live fire cooked with it , but everything else has been perfect. Boil, roast , stew, steam .... All the Dutch oven things in a lighter, quicker heating pan. Heat retention is fantastic for those long slow cooks especially. I did a pot roast from start to finish , and dare I say , it was perfect. Every bit as good as a Dutch oven pot roast. Glad I have added to my kitchen arsenal . And for the folks that have induction, it's a champ on induction. Easily one of the better induction compatible pans I have used.

I have used a variety of pots for cooking pasta (I do that 3-4 times a week). I bought this as a replacement for a much larger pot (the same diameter). The diameter was the key. Spaghetti, linguine, etc. fit lying flat in the pan, no need to wait for the pasta to soften so you can stir it into the water. It is my ideal pan for this purpose and it only took me 35 years to find it.

I should say the quality of the pan is exceptional, smooth rivets, curved edge, generous handles. Its as good as my French copper pots which constitute most of my cookware.
