Amazon.com Review
Anolon cookware is known for its performance and rugged beauty, and the nonstick hard-anodized line showcases both qualities without costing a fortune. Fashioned with commercial styling and striking color contrast, the cookware is made from dark gray hard-anodized aluminum with polished stainless-steel handles. Both durable and quick conducting, the construction stands up to years of use and eliminates hot spots, scorching, and uneven results. Anolon also coats each piece with a professionally tested nonstick layer that cuts down on the need for fats in cooking while ensuring easy food release and speedy cleanup. Other appealing features include comfortable and heat-resistant HollowCore handles and break-proof low-profile hard-anodized lids. This 5-quart covered stockpot is a nice size for making soup for four or cooking up shaped pasta for a small group. Fitted with a weighty hard-anodized lid, the piece brings water or stock to a boil quickly, and the nonstick coating is especially helpful for starchy or creamy dishes. Easy to wash up by hand, both pot and lid are oven-safe to 500 degrees F. Anolon includes a lifetime limited warranty. --Emily Bedard

Superb Value Stockpot July 1, 2008
Anolon just gives the consumer great value...as does Amazon! We now have a larger than complete set of various Analong cookware, and it is easily suyperior to many other lesser and even more expensive products. The cleanup is exceptionally easy, the finish is handsome and durable, and the lids fit quite well. I was afraid that this might prove to small a capacity for most of the pasta that we prepare, having replaced a larger aluminum/copper 8 quart stock pot. Well, it does just fine, and is easier to handle, although be prepared to use pot holders on the handles, as they get rather warmish when boiling pasta or potatoes.
Also, a very minor note of consideration, one should be careful about moving or rotating the pot (or Anolong skillets) on the burner surfaces, if your stove has the metal or ceramic burner assemblies that might scratch or damage the outer finish on the bottom of the pot. The bottom is relatively "uncoated" of the protective finish.
We have been astonished by the improvement in the non-stick coating technology used with this product, and make no mistake, it is far better than many competing products that claim to use new anodized non-stick coatings -- all are not equal! We also learned that the claim that this coating will withstand metal implements is true -- my daughter made mashed potatoes, and used a metal potato masher and mashed to spuds in the stock pot!!!! I got a bit miffed, reminder her to use the plastic products, and even bought a new more comfortable wide handled plastic potato masher designed for non-stick coatings--just in case. However, the upshot of this is that the pot was totally unscathed! I would not use metal implements routinely, but clearly, damaging this surface is not easy to do.
Finally, unlike many other professional cooking sets, the Anolon is not excessively heavy. It is not as light as non-pro products, but the design really strikes a perfect balance between industrial heavy-weights and too-light (flimsy) non-commercial or home style cookware -- like those that come in the bargain starter sets.
Analon is not "cheap" is built to last years, and is a bargain for the quality, design and joy of use. The skillets and grilling pans elicit oohs and ahs from us every time we prepare eggs, omelets, chicken or other sticky entres...because the clean-up is so effortless, the cooking temperature is so consistent (no hotspots or deadspots!) and the results are truly gourmet. This stock pot is now a favorite item and stays on the stove most of the time. We will never go back to inferior "half-baked" cookware!

If you need a smaller stock/soup pot, you just can not go wrong with this one. I have plenty of large stockpots and needed a smaller one. This is perfect, quality is great, it looks like it will last for ever (and I am not one to be careful with my cookware). I highly recommend it.
