DemeyereAtlantis 8.5-Qt. Stainless Steel Stockpot

Corrosion of the inside bottom

Nice appearing pot but corrosion of the inside bottom began after first use.

Cadillac of Stock Pots

The dimensional shape of this stockpot is my ideal as it is narrow & tall for optimizing stock quality. Capacity is perfect for average home cook when not making bigger batches of stock. This specific stick pot from the Atlantis line is the Cadillac of stock pots. Hopefully one day Demeyere offers larger sizes

Perfect pot

Great stock pot! Lid is snug and heavy enough that there's no spitting. Of course, it's Demeyre, the handles stay cool. I reheated pea soup and the heating was even with no hot spots or over cooking, despite the patches of thicker soup. Pours really well.

Best Cookware; Worth the Investment

Atlantis is the best cookware made and is definitely worth the investment. The stock pot has a thick, 7 layer base made with copper and silver, two of the best heat conducting materials. They're welded to the bottom of the pan in a special way that eliminates a hot spot where food would stick. It conducts heat so well I can boil water in a few minutes, and that's just on a glass cooktop. The lid fits tightly so no moisture escapes. It conducts heat so well you can actually cook without water! And best of all, there are no rivets! Handles on the pan and lid are welded. This makes clean up a breeze and helps keep the handles from getting hot.

Excellent Pot-Stew, Sauces, Soup & Deep Frying Pot

A stock pot is perfect for cooking big batches of pastas, sauces, and soups and an ample size for making broth. One of the best stainless steel pots out in the market, its 7-layer construction provides unparalleled frying, perfect browning, and guarantees exceptional heat distribution and retention for better cooking. It's to last a lifetime investment. This pot has comfortable handles that allow for easy maneuvering and roomy stay cool handle. I've had a variety of stainless steel pans, this is one of my favorite pots and pans. The flat bottom stays flat and will not warp. Safe to use with heavy metal kitchen tools, and extremely scratch-resistant. However, the keyword is “resistant” so, with enough force, anything can cause scratches. Therefore, wood and silicone kitchen tools are recommended. Compatible with gas, induction, ceran, halogen, and electric cooktops and oven safe up to 500F degree. Handwashing is recommended specially for a large pot like this one. A Bar Keeper's friend stainless steel cream cleanser is a really good must-have to keep your cookware in pristine condition and helps remove food residue. Washing and cleaning is a breeze.

Demeyere cookware is the best of the best. Each size and shape of the vessel is manufactured for optimal performance. Sauce pans and other straight sided pots are heavier on the bottom than the sides for maximum heat retention,flat bottoms for even cooking over the entire surface and rolled rims for dripless pouring. Fry pans and other conical pots have thicker bottoms and substantial sides to create maximum cooking throughout the pan. Stay cool handles, beautiful finish and no rivets only adds to the value of these pots making them an essential addition to your kitchen.

I love this Stainless Steel Pot, great for cooking a whole chicken making soup, also great for a large pot of chili, cooks evenly and easy to clean

Sensational Stock Pot

Seven- ply base with TriplInduct for extremely efficient cooking. Stock Pot provides quick heating and even heat retention. Large rivetless handles remain cool to the touch on stove top and combine with dripless rims for easy straining and pouring. Pot will stay silvery white thanks to the Silvinox treatment that also aids in clean up. Worth the investment.
