Product Description
Stockpots are true do-it-alls when it comes to any liquid-related cooking. They have tall sides which reduce evaporation so thinner stocks and soups maintain their light consistency. With a wide, flat base, you can even Saute your soup ingredients right in the pot without having to use an additional pan. As part of our D3 Collection, this Stockpot features a bonded tri-ply construction made with a responsive aluminum core pressed together with 2 layers of durable, stainless steel all the way around the surface, for fast and even heat.
5.0 out of 5 stars A pot Jony Ive could have designed. This pot cost three times as much as the Calpalon that it replaced. Is it three times better? Maybe!Reasons to spend $300-400 on one pot:1. It is obviously made of much better materials than cheaper pots.2. The craftsmanship and build quality is MUCH better.3. Aestethically (I know, most people don’t care) this pot is beautiful- shiny chrome exterior and brushed stainless interior4. Function: it cooks food well without hot spots in the pot. It heats up fast and evenly.5. Solid build, but not that heavy. For being a tri-ply construction, this pot is surprisingly light.6. Cleans easily- you can do a glaze on it and still clean it very easily with Barkeeper’s Friend7. Design – easy to pour the liquid out of the pot due to the shape- I don’t know why other pots don’t do this.8. Fit/finish- the lid fits perfectly unlike other cheaper pots.9. Value – if you take care of this pot, it will outlast cheaper pots, so the actual cost of ownership isn’t that highFor me, cooking with a beautiful pot like this makes it much more enjoyable. It’s just a great feeling to have something so nice in the kitchen.It gives me joy knowing that in our disposable, cheap, “made-in-china” society, there is actually a group of people that care about making something functional, beautiful, and high quality. Not only that, there are other people that appreciate and are willing to pay for that degree of care. This gives me hope.Variation: Color: SilverSize: 8 Qt Stockpot with Lid
5.0 out of 5 stars These are nice. Buy quality and only cry once. Yeah, it’s expensive. It’s also a great stock pot.We have slowly converted all of our cook wear to either AllClad or Lecreuset over the last 10 years. It’s expensive, but it DOES perform at a noticeably higher level than the cheaper options. It also basically lasts forever.Do you NEED this to cook great meals? Nope. 100% you don’t. Does it help? Yes!I really like the shape for this particular size/volume. It’s wider than many of the other pots with this volume – and that helps with searing stuff like large cuts of meat and the like.One note: Don’t put these in the dishwasher. I was caught up in an AllClad recall where the pots were officially dishwasher rated, but washing them that way caused the aluminum core to erode out and left sharp edges. Hand washing and using barkeepers friend to take off any gnarly burned on stuff works really well.Variation: Color: SilverSize: 8 Qt Stockpot with Lid
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely love it This is my new workhorse. I got it just as I moved into a new house while the rest of my pots and pans were en route, and I used it for everything from soup to frying bacon. It did great at everything. Nice even heat, sleek looks, and feels good to use. I found it easy to clean, and the size is perfect for a home cook doing some 6-8 serving big-batch cooking.Variation: Color: SilverSize: 8 Qt Stockpot with Lid

5.0 out of 5 stars New quality at savings! Fantastic deal on a new, “seconds” quality All-Clad D3 8qt stock pot.I perform considerable research on which 8 quart stock pot to purchase. I really wanted an All-Clad pan that had trouble stomaching in the cost of a new one. Several sources reported that Capital Cookware is a reputable dealer for All-Clad items on Amazon. I am happy to report. This is my experience.The pan was described as arriving new in a non-retail carton with a warranty and that the pot would have a 1% superficial scratch mark on exterior of bottom of pot. There were slight scratching on the very bottom of the pot and also at the bottom of the side. I had to look to find the scratch. From far away, the pan looked exactly brand new and imperfect condition. The minute I cook in this it is no longer going to be or appear brand new so I wasn’t too worried about this scratch.I was able to save $80 off the retail price. And will happily recommend purchasing from Capital Cookware on Amazon.Variation: Color: SilverSize: 8 Qt Stockpot with Lid
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Sous Vide I just received my new stockpot and I am thrilled with the size, quality and heft. I got it for making large batch soups but I realized it would work perfectly with my Joule sous vide appliance. It is going to be even more useful than I thought.Variation: Color: SilverSize: 8 Qt Stockpot with Lid
