I really love this stockpot. Its black exterior adds quite a lot of cool factor. I opted for the 7.6 L and it’s just the perfect size for crowd pleasers like stewed beef brisket (will be making soups and clambakes come winter). I cooked 1.5 kg of beef using it and it was devoured within one dinner party of ten or so people. Within a week of receiving the pot I already made a few batches of larger meals that can feed many stomachs — stews, chili-con-carnes. It’s easy to clean too (which stainless steel usually is).
