Calphalon 6qt Premier Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Lid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this pan! It’s the perfect size, looks beautiful, the stainless steel is easy to clean. It’s thick on the bottom, so I know it’ll heat evenly and last forever. It’s surprisingly light to pick up, despite how sturdy it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m truly loving my new stainless steel Calphalon stock pot!! It is so incredibly versatile and the peace of mind I get from cooking in something I know is completely nontoxic is something I wouldn’t trade for anything else. This has been my go to pot since I’ve received it. 10/10 recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Calphalon 6 Quart Stock Pot is beautiful at first sight! A great size for making stews & soups in batches for this cold NY weather. It heat up well & was not wobbly on the stove. The pot does have a significant footprint but can easily stack other items inside for ease of storage! Lid fits perfect flush & can be left on the stove for display since it’s so pretty. Absolutely recommend!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Calphalon makes quality products and this stock pot is no exception! I like to make soups and stews anytime, but especially in the cooler months. My first time using this pot was for a beef stew. I cook the beef in the stock pot first and then start adding other ingredients. The pot maintained even heat for browning the beef cubes as well as throughout the cooking of the stew. I am sure I will enjoy cooking with this pot. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because of the handles. I wish Calphalon would add silicon to their handles of their pots and pans. I have the same problem with my Calphalon regular pots and pans and have to remember to grab a pot holder or get burned. I am on the fence about a glass (ie. see through) lid. I did like the way the pot heats so I am not sure if that would change the way it heats having the metal lid. The glass lids just give me the ability to see what's going on without having to lift the lid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a solid and sturdy pot - the stainless steel looks stylish and sleek, although smudges can be quite visible. The size is excellent for large families; whether it’s soup, stew, ragu, mulled wine, or compote, everything cooks beautifully. The quality is impressive too - even heat distribution and a non-stick surface. I like that it comes with a lid, though I’d personally prefer it to be transparent so I can see what’s happening inside. The handles get warm during cooking, but not too hot - I can still hold them with bare hands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was bummed to have missed out on the sets but glad I was able to snag this 6qt stock pot. It has a huge capaciry ideal dor curries and stir friy-really for anything! It has a nice mirror finish and was so easy to clean. A bit of oil while heating and its practically like a non stick. I wanted to make the transition to stainless steel and glad I got to try this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Omg this 6 qt Dutch oven is quickly becoming my favorite pot! I have made two soups in ur already and both times forgot to snap a photo. Nothing stuck to the bottom. Cooking temperature was nice and even. It’s the perfect size for a family meal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Calphalon's Premier cookware 6 qt stock pot is masterfully crafted to be elegant, yet durable. With its aluminum heat-responsive core contained in 4 layers of stainless steel, cooking and cleanup become a simpler task. The pot reaches the correct temperature quickly and simmers like a champ. There are no unsightly stains, warping, or dents that magically appear while cooking like some other brands. I cannot get over how pretty this pot is after a dozen uses. That mirror-polish really shines. I have used it on my gas stove, stuck it in the oven, and cleaned it in the dishwasher. The only qualm that I have is that there are claims from Calphalon, stating the handles stay cool, but they do not. I have yet to find steel handles that stay cool, so I am not upset about it in the slightest. This is a great buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan is amazing, but it is significantly smaller than I was expecting. I made a wonderful stock in it. But because of the size I had to make significantly less. This would be good for someone who lives alone/cooks for one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is absolutely one of the best pots I have ver owned. I love the shape and size of it. I also love how heavy and beautiful it looks in my kitchen. To clean it it’s a breeze and cooks eveeything evenly. So far, I have used it to make soup, pasta and fricase de pollo. I highly recommend it and will be buying more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a quality piece of cooking wear! It is huge and holds so much. It looks very expensive and high quality. It was also easy to clean. Would buy more pieces from this line!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Obsessed with this stock pot. It’s large and wide and the heat distribution is even all over. The lid is thick & durable, so it won’t warp or bend like lots of other thinner lids. Very sturdy construction! My favorite new addition to my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great size pot and I don’t have to worry about toxic cookware with my little one. It’s perfect for pasta or soups and it’s easy to clean and very durable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 6-quart Cephalon pot cooks food (I used for rice) quickly and evenly—far better than my other cookware. It has a sleek, high-end look, but the surface shows smudges easily and needs frequent wiping to stay clean looking. The handles also get warm during use, so be cautious when lifting. Overall, it’s a stylish and efficient piece with minor usability trade-offs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pot for braising beef, and making stocks. The build quality is great, and the handles and lid feel very study and look good. Conducts heat very well and evenly. Great value, feels like it will last a lifetime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Calphalon Premier Stainless Steel 6 Qt Stock Pot with Cover has a sleek design looks elegant in the kitchen and feels sturdy, the heating is evenly distributed for soups, stews and boiling. Its versatility makes it great for everything from pasta to simmering sauces. So far I made chicken soup & beans sprouts with meat and vegetables and the performance was excellent. A great value for a high-quality cookware piece.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “Obsessed with this stock pot — it’s a kitchen essential! Heats evenly, resists warping, and cleans up like a dream. Perfect for soups, stews, pasta — I use it nonstop. Total staple.”

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a few weeks of use I’ve got to say, I’m pretty impressed, though it’s not totally perfect. First off, the build feels solid. I like how the pot has a thick bottom and feels sturdy, definitely not flimsy. (Same impression from others too: “thick bottom … feels very sturdy”) Heating seems to be even across the surface, which is awesome when I’m simmering soups or stews. Cleanup is generally easy. Food doesn’t cling too badly, and I’ve been able to scrub it or toss in the dishwasher without major drama. That said, after the very first use I noticed some discoloration or marks on the bottom—nothing that ruins the pot, but enough that I raised an eyebrow. One downside but not a deal breaker: the handles get pretty hot when cooking, so I always reach for a mitt. That’s a small trade-off I can live with, but worth noting. Overall, I’m happy with it. It’s not cheap, but it gives a premium feel without going overboard. It’s already earned its place in my kitchen rotation, if I were you, I’d go for it and just keep those oven mitts nearby.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this pot!! It cooks the food very evenly. It is made of high quality materials and it isn’t cheaply made. It has a sleek stainless steel design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Calphalon Premier Stainless Steel 6qt Stock Pot is everything I hoped for and more. It’s nice and heavy, with incredible quality you can feel the moment you pick it up. The even heating means my chili didn’t stick to the bottom—just rich, perfect flavor every time. It’s the perfect size for chili, gumbo, mashed potatoes, or a big batch of spaghetti. Cleanup is a breeze, and it still looks brand new after multiple uses. I’m seriously in love with this pot and now wish I had the entire set.Do you hear that, Calphalon? 😉 I’ll gladly share my love for this amazing pot—but the recipe for my award-winning chili? Well, that stays a secret.
