Circulon C1 8-Quart ScratchDefense Nonstick Stockpot with Lid

Great stockpot.

Nonstick and big.

Soup made easy.

Works well.

I've made chili and pasta in this pot. It's huge and nonstick. Cleanup is simple.

The pot is heavy but well-made. The lid fits snug. The nonstick surface is reliable.

I like the size for canning small batches. But the pot is a bit too deep for my stove. Good quality.

Great for soups and stocks. The nonstick makes straining easy. I do wish it had a strainer insert, but fine.

This is a serious stockpot. The 8-quart capacity is perfect for big family meals. The nonstick interior is a game-changer, especially when cooking sticky foods like risotto or polenta. The pot heats evenly across the bottom, no hot spots. The riveted handles are sturdy and don't loosen. I've used it for pasta, soups, and even a batch of gumbo. It's expensive, but it's the last stockpot you'll need.

I've been using this stockpot for six months, and it's still perfect. The scratch-resistant claim holds up – I use metal ladles without worry. The lid is heavy and seals well, so moisture stays in. Cleanup is ridiculously easy, just rinse and wipe. I've made stock, chili, and even boiled crabs. It's a large pot, so make sure you have storage space. Worth every cent.

I bought this after my old stockpot warped. This one is built like a tank. The base is thick and doesn't bulge on the stove. The nonstick surface is smooth and hasn't scratched, even with my induction cooktop. It's a pleasure to cook with. The handles are comfortable, and the helper handle helps when full. I'm a big fan of Circulon.

It's a good pot, but it's really heavy. I'm an older person with wrist problems, so I struggle to lift it when full. The nonstick is amazing, and the pot cooks evenly. I just wish it were lighter. If you're strong, it's perfect.

I use this for making large batches of soup to freeze. The nonstick makes it easy to clean burnt cheese off the bottom. Good investment.

After trying several stockpots, this one is my favorite. The depth is ideal for stocks, and the nonstick means you can deglaze without scraping. It also works great as a deep fryer for turkey. The lid is glass, so I can monitor without lifting. The pot is oven-safe to a high temp, which is a bonus. I've deeply satisfied.
