This Farberware 50009 Classic Series Covered Stockpot features "Full Cap" Base Advantage. A stainless steel protector surrounds a thicker aluminum core for easy maintenance and better heat distribution. Since the entire surface is stainless steel, cleanup is easier. Close fitting lids create a self-basting feature that protects the food's taste and nutrients. Because of the stainless steel handles, it can be placed in the oven up to 500°F.

   I actually bought this for my husband and he loves it. It is nice and heavy and there are no hot spots.

   I have had a hard time finding stainlss pots without rivets that go through the wall of the pot and provide a vector for rust and corrosion. This pot has no rivets and the inner surface is clear and clean! I am very happy with my pot and would defenitely purchase another Farberware pot in the future. I am not happy with other pots I own that have rivets, rust and corrosion !

   After using a cheap ($20) stockpot for the last several years and burning countless dishes, I decided to buy a really good stockpot, and the Farberware fits the bill. Heavy and well-made, with a nice finish, as well as wonderful cooking capacity and performance. I actually weighed this pot, and it came in at just over 7 pounds (as opposed to 3 pounds for my old pot). Highly recommended.

   all my cookware is Faberware brand, so I decide to buy this pot to make large cookings, as all my other faberware products it doesnt stick nothing and doesn burn the meals, you can cooking in low setting for hours and be confident that your meal will be safe.

   I must have spent a week reading various reviews of stock pots before selecting this pot. I noticed that the majority of less-than-positive reviews of this pot(and others) seemed to be by folks who were disappointed that the pot was not something other than what it claimed to be. At the same time that I was deciding on this pot my wife bought me 3 All Clad sauce pans. This pot is not the same construction or quality as a top-of-the-line All Clad pot. It is also not $450. For the price I can’t imagine being able to beat the quality of this pot. The first time I used it I found that I had to adjust the burner about 1/3 lower than with my old pots. Although we are fortunate enough to be on natural gas instead of propane like most of our neighbors, I believe that for anyone who cooks stews and soups frequently, the savings in propane alone will pay for this pot in a year. If you can spend over $400 on a stock pot don’t hesitate to buy All Clad. If you want an excellent pot (that, yes, will not work on an induction range but they make that clear so pay attention) for a fraction of that price I don’t think you can do better than this Farberware pot.
