AVACRAFT Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Stockpot with Glass Strainer Lid, Side Spouts, 6 Quart Multipurpose Sauce Pot

Love these! This is my 2nd purchase of this item (try-ply full body - 6 qrt stockpot). Because it's wider & the heat distribution is so good, the apples for applesauce cook down more quickly & evenly top to bottom than several other quality stainless steel pans that I have (even better than the AVACRAFT 7 quart, Pasta Pot w Strainers). I prefer it over even that one. It also heats up water (for pasta) faster (induction cooktop), though maybe not as fast as my Instant Pot does on 'sauté'. Also love the lid strain & pour feature & that it has measurement marks for water level inside the pan. High quality & beautiful design too. Love almost all my Avacraft pans. Discovered that it was easier to use 2 of these smaller 6 quart tri-ply full body covered stockpot pans vs 1 huge pot to cook-down the apples. Their better heat distribution works faster & reduces the chances of scorching the bottom or having to turn/stir the apples excessively & also reduces the amount of water needed to start the apples cooking initially to less than 1/8 cup (compared to using one huge pot). Steam canning worked better too vs water-bath (less heat in the kitchen, faster processing time w getting up to heat & better flexibility w not having to put in a full 7 quarts each time because of water level). This pan (along w my VICTORIO VKP1130 steam or waterbath canner which can also be used as a big cookpot) has been a game-changer for processing large quantities of apples/fruit or acidified produce (like pickles/tomatoes) quickly w less mess & heat in the kitchen. I should also mention that my (VICTORIO VKP1130 steam canner) is now being sold under a different name (Kitchen Crop VKP Brands), but if you search by either of those names, the stockpot steam canner should come up that I like. It will show two different styles of steam canners for them, but I prefer the stockpot style as it has more uses. It can be used as a steam canner or a waterbath canner or a large cookpot for cooking down tomatoes', etc (more versatile), well worth the small increase in price over the other one (heavier duty too). Just remember w steam canners that you have to watch the water level, but I've noticed w mine that it doesn't go down very fast because of the lid.

AVACRAFT makes excellent quality, heavy duty kettles. 2 years ago I bought a 1.5 qt kettle with pour spouts & strainer lid & I love it. It's perfect for cooking vegetables & draining them - no more need to partially open the lid to drain & let the vegetables go out with the water! The kettle is very durable & works great on my induction cooktop. So I wanted a larger diameter pot to accommodate corn on the cob. I wanted the pot to be extra wide to handle long ears of corn & AVACRAFT once again fit the bill. It was a no brainer since I like the other pot so well. The 9.75 inch diameter is about as large as you will find &, once again, it is an excellent quality pot. This one comes with silicone coated handles on the pot & lid - another nice feature that many other brands don't offer.

these pans from Avacraft are high quality. We have all, tri ply style and boy, they do heat evenly. The handles do stay ,very cool. Customer service is top notch. Avacraft does care about their product and they do care about their customer.

Exactly what I wanted, description is spot on. This pot is not too deep but holds a lot. Seems well-made.

this is the second pan I ordered, the first one was the two 1/2 quart pan and we use it all the time. Cleans up great and looks great after cleaning. I love the lid, the fact I can strain with it and saves on cleaning a colander which is very handy.

Really love this pot. Cooks evenly. Only problem is that it scratches easily.

So far so good, pot is working well. I do recommend hand washing this for the first few times you use it to ensure that it is clean before you use it.

Works well and no complaints. Worked well on my new induction cooktop!

Estoy encantada con este producto, es de excelente calidad, se limpia fàcilmente y no ocupa demasiado espacio, cómo las el estilo de cocina que tengo. Lo volvería a comprar.

La olla me pareció de tamaño adecuado a mis necesidades, además que es muy bonita, espero me dure muchos años, es una gran compra!!’

A wonderful pot. Heats up quickly and cooks pasta faster and to perfection. I love it.
