Circulon Contempo Hard Anodized Nonstick 7-1/2-Quart Covered Wide Stockpot



Great Purchase
This pot is wonderful for oven braises when using larger and cheaper cuts of meat. Cleanup is great, afterall, it is Circulon. I have a couple of 8 quart stockpots, but they are tall and are better suited for boiling pasta, spaghetti, and some soups, and stews that I do on the stovetop.

But, the height of this particular pot makes it excellent for oven braises. It performs well and retains heat. I have absolutely no regrets about making this purchase, and wish I had purchased it before now. It's great for making baked beans in the oven, too. The silicone handles on the pot and lid make it easy to maneuver when using it on the stovetop.

I can't speak for the other reviewers, but this is a great piece of cookware, and I am very happy with it.

Great pot
The recommendations were spot on here. This is a great pot. The nonstick surface works really well. The handles have a nice rubber grip to them. The size is great for making larger dishes.

Became a wok after one use
Nice looking and very generous size pot and the non-stick surface may actually work. However, after just one use, ours warped so that instead of a flat bottom pot, we now have a shallow curved bottom wok. Not a real good feature on our ceramic cook top. Wobbles very well, now.

Clearly, the aluminum is either too thin or Circulon is using a very poor allow that simple can`t take the heat.

Back it goes. Sometime cheap is just not enough.
