Duxtop Professional Stainless Steel Cookware Induction Ready Impact-bonded Technology (4.2Qt Stockpot)

I made gumbo in this pot for the first time.. and it’s been done for about 30 minutes and the pot is still hot. And it cooked my gumbo perfectly. No sticking, Easy to use just make sure it’s heated up before you put anything in it. Looks very nice and functions great

This brand makes a great pan, even if you don’t have induction. I wish all my pans were this brand.

Nice flat bottom. Also great on normal ceramic cooktop. Love the shape and feel of this pot. I bought a couple other sizes of this brand.

Unlike reviews posted here that apply to other Duxtop pots and pans, I am using the 8.6 quart/7.0 liter item as shown on this product page. My rating says 'I Like It'...for lots of home use. My Professional grade pots and pans are a good bit beyond this in solid construction...but won't heat on my new induction cooktop. When it comes to induction, Duxtop is as good as it gets! I own a fine 10-piece set (purchased on Amazon from Secura) and what I have is 'just right.' That set represents a new metal for Duxtop, one that is a magnetic stainless steel. This largest available pot comes from the induction-ready era, with a hefty magnetic insert to conduct energy and to evenly disperse heat from whatever source.With my premium home induction cooktop it took this pan 20 minutes to bring 7 liters of water to a rolling boil using an energy setting of 9 (powerful but sustainable without damaging the cooktop element for that period of time). I turned down the power and the pan quickly moved to a lightly bubbling simmer. The kit kept temperature at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes (the length of my test). I am sure it will maintain an evenly dispersed temperature for much longer, since I could not detect any hot spots using my starchy test fluid.I found this pot to be generally well-constructed (for home use.) The glass lid is encircled with a stainless band, providing structure and also allowing a view into the pot that solid metal tops do not allow. There is a small 'dimple' opening in the lid to allow steam to escape but I found steam preferred to bubble and spit around the rim of the top at full boil, 'fogging' my cooktop. (Well, the top needs regular cleaning anyway...but this would not be so wonderful on open burner gas or electric cooktops.) The dimple opening worked fine for simmering temperatures.

I bought an induction hot plate several years ago with a set of pots and pans from the same manufacturer. Sad face. Pans passed the magnet test or so it seemed.Then I went through a series of "induction ready" (some expensive). More magnets, more sad face. I was about to give up on the induction idea. Gee whiz modern technology my eye.Then I tried a Duxtop saucepan (1.6 quart). Works great, really great. I've had it over a year and a half, almost daily use, blue non-scratch scrubbers, finish still looks brand new. But appearance is a minor thing. The inside has markings to show volume which is a nifty feature. There are never any hot spots due to the heavy bottom which is great since I suspect the cooktop may not be even.I recently bought a Duxtop sauté pan which I am just as pleased with. As you can see by the build up I've already used it a lot, often at high heat.This casserole is my third purchase. Each time I've bought a pan.I'll received an email urging me to contact the manufacturer for ANY problem PLUS how to contact Amazon. How's that for service and confidence?I've owned some of the more expensive anodized and stainless cook wares in the past. This stuff is equal or better than all of them. I will buy more when I can. Their prices make that possible as my circumstances have changed. I've bought hundreds of items through Amazon down through the years, very seldom do I post a review. I expect things to meet expectation with no need to comment. And I don't complain when they fail.Like the old ad said, "Try it, you'll like it."

I had been searching for a quality induction capable pan that would fill in between the sizes I already own and not break the budget as I have a number of cast iron and stainless pans already... Apparently I have a habit! I had been looking at all the local stores and the Big Blue building. My criteria was it needed to be tall enough to cook smaller quantities of pasta for two and yet fit in the small storage area of my camping trailer. I planned on using it outside on the portable induction burner. When I received this pan I was more than pleased with the quality and weight. I am sure it will not remain in the camper at all and will be used often in my kitchen.The inside dimensions are approximately 7-1/2 inches across by 4-1/2 deep. There is about a quarter inch flat rim and there are dog ear type handles that you might want to factor in if your storage is tight. The glass lid fits very securely and has a vent hole. With the lid on it will sputter water if you boil it too hard, but I noticed it doesn't sputter as much as some of my other pans due to the nice fitting lid.This pan is beautifully finished and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
