Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart 766-30 Chef's Classic Stainless 16-Quart Stockpot
Customer Review: Good Addition to my Kitchen
Summary: 4 Stars
I just bought this stock pot a couple of weeks ago after looking online and locally for some time. I eventually chose it because of the price to features being favorable and past experience with Cuisinart cookware. My cookware collection includes about a dozen pieces of original French Cuisinart, a couple of pieces of All-Clad and one 12 qt Revereware stockpot with a bottom so thin that almost everything sticks and burns. My original Cuisinart pans still look like new, despite 25 years (!) of heavy use, so I decided to trust the new style rather than switch to a new brand. So far it looks like an excellent choice. The really expensive stockpots - $350-400 - get you an aluminum or copper core that extends up the sides to carry heat up and provide a larger surface for boiling. This pot, as others in this price range, only have thick aluminum on the bottom, which spreads the heat well, but is not so high tech as the fancy ones. On a pot with as big a bottom as this one I don't think the flame will get past the bottom and scorch the sides.
One of the best features of both the old and new Cuisinart pans is the rolled rim that allows perfectly controlled pouring with no drips. I love that design. This stock pot is chunky in shape - about as wide as it is tall. This isn't supposed to be the best design for making stock, but for churning out big batches of soup or chili or spaghetti sauce it is just right.
