Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 8-Quart Covered Stockpot SpecificationsIn a well-equipped kitchen, the cupboard must contain at least one large stockpot of quality. The stockpot's myriad of applications varies from boiling potatoes to poaching chicken breasts to simmering a zesty chili. For blanching, steaming, stewing tasks, Anolon offers this 8-quart covered stockpot from its Anolon Advanced cookware line. The stockpot's nonreactive hard-anodized aluminum construction enables premium heat conductance and even distribution while resisting dents, rust, and corrosion. DuPont's Autograph 2 nonstick treatment lines the stockpot interior for cooking and cleaning ease. The chef carries the stockpot to and from the stovetop by two loop handles, riveted securely to the pot's sides. The 18/10 stainless-steel handles benefit from ergonomic comfort from silicone rubber covering. A clear tempered glass lid enables the chef to monitor cooking progress without releasing any hot air. The shatter-proof lid provides another loop handle for removal. The stockpot adapts for baking use, safely sustaining oven temperatures up to 375 degrees F. For the best care, wash the stockpot by hand, avoiding the use of abrasive cleansers and scouring pads on the nonstick surfaces. Made in Thailand, this item is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The stockpot measures 15 by 12 by 12 inches and weighs 14 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
