The warning is this. I noticed before I bought it that this set had a button style handle on the lid instead of a loop style handle. Unfortunately the button has a stylishly low profile design (that is, beautiful to look at but hard to grip) making it fussy to pick up the lid with or without a pot holder. I solved the problem by buying a separate replacement, loop style, lid handle and getting rid of the button altogether. If you have large hands or difficulty gripping things, you may want to replace the button or just pass this set by for one with all loop handles.
I purchased this at Christmas time. ( As a gift to myself from my Mother)
It is wonderful!
It cooks evenly, hold so much and cleans up to shiny and new after each wash.
So far I have cooked 2 lbs of pasta at once. (I think I read that it could cook 3lbs, but we are not up to needing that much at one time yet) It cooked great with no nasty noodle clumps because of over crowding. Also no more trying to pour out all of that boiling hot water into a colander. Just lift the pasta cooker out and you have perfectly cooked pasta.
We are also a family that loves soup! This can hold a double or even triple batch of almost any soup we can throw at it. The bottom of the pot is very sturdy (Thick, heavy, good quality) and I have never had a single item burn.
The glass lid is nice, I can keep an eye on whatever is cooking (or check to see if my water is boiling) without letting the heat out by lifting the lid.
For our large family...this is an ALL AROUND GREAT PRODUCT!
I plan to use it for many years to come!
Cons: thin metal walls
The metal on the walls isn't as thin on this as the reviews had led me to believe. It *is* thin metal, and will dent if you bang it on a counter edge, but this is purely cosmetic. It *does* have a good thick bottom. In fact, I just made a batch of tomato sauce, in which I cooked it down for about 9 hours. No scorching at all.
The steam baskets are necessity when it comes to blanching veggies from the garden destined for the freezer. No more picking things out of boiling water with tongs!
The glass lid is pretty, but it is the weak point of this set. My previous stock pot glass lid lasted for 10+ years until I once set it down on a range burner that was on and I didn't know it. It shattered under the high heat. The glass lids are more durable than they look, and this one looks no different. But they are not made for high heat.
For the price, this a good deal. Sure, I could spend 2-3x the money for a higher quality one, but this one will work just as well for nearly as long.
When canning - I use this pot to start cooking down my tomato sauce for a slow even moisture reduction. It's also an excellent large stock pot for soups or stews.
Very pleased with this multi-use product!
