Amazon.com Review:
This 16-quart stockpot from Le Creuset is an essential piece of equipment for any serious home cook, especially those with large-scale needs. Designed to coordinate with Le Creuset's classic line of enameled cast-iron cookware, the stockpot and lid are made of carbon steel coated with enamel; the pot has a steel rim to prevent chipping. It heats quickly and evenly--essential when reducing stocks--and the white enamel interior prevents the pot from absorbing odors and flavors so that your beef bouillon doesn't taste like the last fish stock you prepared. The glossy, colorful exterior makes it attractive enough to go from the stove directly to your table. This stockpot's sturdy construction, fine craftsmanship, and timeless design ensure that it will be an item you'll have in your kitchen for a long time. --Pamela Zytnicki

  • Works with all cooking surfaces

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Le Creuset Stock Pot 16 quart
I have a smaller Le Creset 8 quart stock pot that would be a bit too small. I debated whether to get the 12 or 16 quart.I'm glad I got the 16 quart. It is not small but does fit in my cabinet. I use it for large amounts of corn on the cob, spaghetti and soup for crowds.
If you don't feed crowds go with the 8 or 12 quart.
The quality is excellant.Yes it is a bit pricey but it doesn't warp and I need a flat bottom for my glass/ceramic cooktop.I had other stock pots but over time ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love it, don't know what others are talking about
I purchased the same exact pot in the 8-quart capacity for $15 2 months ago but since that size is no longer available I will review this size as it's the same pot.I have used this pot several times and absolutely love it, it's a great STOCKPOT.I've made sauces and soups and a number of other dishes in it and have no complaints; it preforms well each time and it is a very handsome pot.One person said this pot gave off a chemical smell and that the enamel started chipping/melting but they also said ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not up to their cast iron quality
I purchased this thinking that it would match the quality of my Le Creuset dutch oven...Not even close..The bottom is almost completely chipped away.I would not recommend this to anyone.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome
For those of you that chipped your pots, that's because you should have been using a plastic or silicone utensil. you're not supposed to use anything else. it's just common sense. this stock pot is amazing. beautiful color too. Macy's just had the 16qt on sale for $17.99. It just went back up to $60 though.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Forget the name
Good pot. Not bulletproof Le Creuset. Kind of reminds me of a "value line" that manufacturers put out sometimes. The stay looking good outside, use kid gloves inside. Easy for the sauces/ soups to stick if not careful. Ours is 3-4 years old with minimal usage. Like our stainless better.
