An essential piece for any well-equipped kitchen, this stock pot offers a roomy interior designed to accommodate large batches of a variety of favorite family recipes.

Use the stock pot for anything from vegetable soup, beef stew, or Texas-style chili to boiling noodles for spaghetti night with friends. Cuisinart's GreenGourmet Hard Anodized line of cookware combines an earth-friendly design with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance with reduced impact on the environment. The cookware's hard-anodized aluminum construction heats up quickly and evenly, which means less energy required to achieve the desired cooking temperature, and its exclusive, scratch-resistant, ceramic-based nonstick coating (PTFE/PFOA-free and petroleum-free) helps reduce oil consumption and preserve the environment--plus it's applied at a temperature one half that of conventional nonsticks, and it won't peel off. Furthermore, its nonstick interior ensures effortless food release without the need for excess butter or oil, which means lower fat cooking options and quick cleanup. The pot's secure-fitting lid helps trap heat, moisture, and nutrients, while its riveted side handles stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are made from 70-percent recycled stainless steel. Even more, Cuisinart uses packaging made from 100-percent recycled materials and printed with soy ink. Oven-safe up to 500 degrees F and safe to use under the broiler.
