I purchased this pan for my 23 year-old daughter with hopes that she'll get as much use out of it as I've had from my Magnalite pans. I've been cooking with mine for 30 years - they're heavy, with even heat distribution so you can simmer things for hours and hours. An SOS pad makes easy clean-up for tough jobs. I have a big Magnalite pot of beans, peppers, onions and garlic cooking right now!
I kept seeing recipes that called for a dutch oven so I kept my eye out for a good deal on Great Offer Stock. I didn't want a big heavy one so bought the stainless steel one. It's great! I made beef stew the first night and it came out perfect. I'm very happy, cleaned up great.
It IS as described. The lid is a heavier stock than the pot - but this pot is a perfect size for many dishes. I have made pasta, sauce, and soups in it already. I love Magnalite and I love when I can find stuff like this at a good price!
I really love my magnalite pot I was trying to order one for my friend but you'll were sold out. Please let me know if another one comes available. thanks
