MasterClassStock Pot With Lid 11L, Induction-Safe, Stainless Steel, Silver & OXO Good Grips Y Peeler

Great purchase

I love this pan, as I cook in bulk I can make a big pan of soup and freeze for the colder days.

Pleased with the size and the quality of the pan but frustratingly (as I need to use it right away) the labels attached to it are almost impossible to remove. Despite soaking and teasing away at the label on the side for 30 mins I have frustratingly made minimal progress as it is solidly stuck on and has a plastic coating which is almost impossible to remove. (See photo) In addition, the smaller paper barcode label stuck onto the base (? strange place to put this as this will be in direct contact with extreme heat) also proved to be a challenge. Overall, not well considered as these labels need to be properly removed when this pan is going to be up against high temperatures. Am hoping that all this teasing and gentle scraping at these impossible labels pays off and the pan itself performs well. Right now I am not feeling kindly towards it!!

Perfect size and depth. Used frequently but still looks like new. Good heavy base. Brilliant for soup!

It’s very sturdy and a good weight for a medium pot!

An excellent 20cm wide stock pot that arrived in perfect condition. Lid fits snugly as well, so very little steam escapes. Would definitely buy this brand again, but was quite expensive for what it is.

Arrived with a glued on label, why would they GLUE it to the pot, they could simply put it INSIDE the pot.I noticed some weird blemish spots inside base of pan before use.Also the pan was covered inside with a black metallic residue which worries me, does it continue to produce this or is it a one off ?

Stockpot was received, as usual, within the specified time and in good condition.I purchased this saucepan/stockpot (due to its larger size) for occasional use only . Have you ever had company for dinner and cooked, say, spaghetti Bolognese and not had a pot big enough to cook the spaghetti in? So then you have to use 2 separate pots, strain 1, dish up, strain the other and discover that by the time you have done the 2nd lot, the 1st lot has gone cold on the plate? Grrrr! Me too! Lol! That is predominantly why I bought it and it has resolved the problem perfectly! I have got a larger one than this, but that was bought predominantly for making jam. Although, this would also be useful for jam making as it has high sides to prevent boiling over.I am absolutely delighted with this stock pot. It is very stylish in design and the quality extremely good, particularly considering the £28.77 I paid for it. It is not the heaviest gauge steel but then I wouldn't have expected it to have been. But I had to have a solid base pot due to the fact that I have a ceramic hob and this fits the bill perfectly.I have ceramic tiles in the kitchen so didn't want one with a glass lid in case I dropped it. This has a stainless steel lid like my existing set so is great. I find the stockpots more versatile as because they are all metal, they can be used on the hob or in the oven. I checked quite a few before deciding on this one and it would appear that if you intend to use this type of item in the oven, you should check their suitability as some can only be used up to certain temperatures even though they are classified as "stockpots".With regard to the handles getting hot, as they are riveted on and hollow (reducing the conduction of heat), they are not too bad at all. Just use your own common sense as you would when removing anything from a hob/oven. The knobs on the lids do get hot so, again, just use your own common sense and use an oven glove or tea towel. All in all a well earned 5 stars.
