 Amazon fails to deliver December 16, 2007
T. Osterland (New York, NY)
I have no idea how good this stockpot is, since amazon cancelled my order - after making me wait for the shipment for almost a year (yes, a year!) Then they finally decided it was no longer available. My guess is: they not only knew this was going to happen, but were actually hoping for it, so they wouldn't have to sell it to me at the advertised bargain price. Either way, one star for amazon's lousy business practices.
Anodize comes off after first use - very very bad December 8, 2007
Geraldine A. Rychel (Erie, PA)
I purchased Cuisinart 12 quart anodized stockpot and only used it twice; washing and drying it after each use and anodize came off after first use. Since "supposedly" guaranteed for "lifetime" I returned item to Cuisinart and they said item was "abused" and didn't honor guarantee. I am over 60 years old and have no youngsters in home so how can it be abused - THEIR ITEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY FAILED TO HONOR THEIR LIFETIME GUARANTEE - I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A "LIFETIME" GUARANTEED ITEM FROM CUISINART AGAIN AND WHOLEHARTEDLY RECOMMEND PEOPLE THINK TWICE!

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Adonized 12-qt. pot with lid September 14, 2007
B. Bellettiere (Philadelphia, PA USA)
I purchased this item about 7 months ago, but just had the opportunity to use it. It is a nice size, looks good and is quite heavy. I made a large pot of gravy (spaghetti sauce) and it cooked quite well. While it was cooking, I noticed that oil was seeping out of one of the areas where the handle was bolted to the pot. It wasn't much, but it seemed to spread in a circle around the bolt. I wasn't too concerned with this because it didn't spread to the bottom of the pot. I did not notice that there was really a problem with this pot until I washed it. It cleaned easily, and nothing was stuck to the bottom, but I was very disappointed when I was through washing it. The inside of the pot looked like it was very old. The bottom of the pot had many scratches, and quite a few areas where specks of the hard adonized material had come off. I could see the silver material underneath. (I guess my family and I ate these specks of material.) The hard adonized coating is very, very thin. I used a nylon spoon for stirring the entire time, and only used a metal spoon to scoop a small amount of gravy from the bottom of the pot. I can't imagine how metal utensils could be used on this pot. I wonder what would have happened if I had actually stirred this pot with a metal spoon. Also, after the pot was washed and had dried, I noticed that the inside of the pot, where the handles were bolted, had rusted. At first, I thought I had not cleaned the pot well, and it was gravy around the bolts, but I was wrong. It was definately rust. I cook alot, and have many pots, quite a few which are very old. I have never had a pot that looked like this after 100 uses, let alone one use. Well, I guess I can't complain too much, (although I already did), because this pot only cost me $29.99. I bought it on a special Amazon sale. I would be very unhappy if I bought it at the price it is currently advertised. Although I do not own any other Cuisinart cookware, after this experience, I would never purchase this type of cookware made by Cuisinart. In fact, now I don't think I would purchase any hard adonized cookware by any company. Just beware of this product!!!
