Great size
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stock pot is such a great size and shape. I love that it's not huge like some that I have, but it's plenty big enough to hold large quantities. I love the stainless steel. It looks and feels like good quality. Very happy with this pot.

Very Nice Addition
I bought a 5qt sauce pan a month ago to add to my Calphalon and Revere cookware. This one def heats up faster than my older stuff. It’s beautiful, heavy, and easy to clean. I love the glass lid.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Premier Stainless Steel 6-Qt Stock Pot with Lid. We’re sorry to hear about the spots you noticed after cleaning, and we understand how frustrating that can be. In some cases, stainless steel can develop mineral or residue spots due to water minerals or cleaning agents. You may want to try the following tips, which often help improve the appearance: - Dry the pot immediately after washing to prevent water spots from forming. - Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild dish soap. - For persistent spots, gently wipe the surface with a solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. - Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can affect the finish. If the spots remain after trying these steps, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Calphalon® Consumer Care

Love this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made red beans and rice in this pot and it was so easy! It kept the heat in and heat up pretty quick. I’ll definitely be using it for stews and soups this winter.

Beautiful pan
[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.

Nontoxic essential
[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.

Beautiful Stock Pot!
[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!!

Great, sturdy stock pot that is the perfect size f
[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.

Great pot for large families
[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.

I wanted to make the transition to stainless steel and glad I got to try this!

Strength and elegance
[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!

Good, but too small
[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.] 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.

High-end look, efficient cooking with minor flaws
[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.

Elegant design & great performance.
[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.
