Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart 766-26 Chef's Classic 12-Quart Stockpot with Cover

Customer Review: Great purchase
Summary: 5 Stars

I was shopping around for a nice sized stock pot (but nothing so huge that i couldn't wash it in the sink). I had it narrowed down between this pot (the Cuisanart 12 Quart) and the All-Clad 12 Quart.

The fact that the Cuisinart is literally a third the price of the All-Clad made my decision a very easy one. The Cuisinart 12 quart pot is great. It has a nice thick bottom to prevent scorching, and has a large size which is more than ample for my all my needs. I am easily able to fit a large 10 pound chicken in it (or two smaller 6-7 lb birds) to make chicken stock. I simply cut up the chicken, throw in all the veggies in the fridge that are about to spoil, cover with water, bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, and walk away. After about an hour, i take the chicken out, let it cool slightly, pull the meat off the bones, and return the bones back to the pot, and cook that down (on simmer) for another 2-3 hours. After it reduces down, I strain it through a colander (which you can line with cheese cloth for a finer strain), put it in a large bowl in the fridge overnight, then skim the layer of fat off the next morning, and voila...perfet, homemade delicious stock that is head and shoulders above the store bought variety. I usually freeze it in zipper bags or tupperware, and then when i need it, i pop it in the microwav. I use this stock for just about anything and everything...to braise veggies, to make rice (or especially risotto), great base for soups, etc.

Oh yeah...about the pot. (sorry, got carried away there for a sec). The pot makes this entire process so easy and so care free, that i hardly have to monitor anything at all. I usually only tend to the pot in the beginning when it's starting to boil, and once i turn it down to a simmer, i basically don't need to check on it any further. The pot's bottom prevents burning or scorching.

Prior to getting this pot, my largest pot was only an 8 quart pot. When i tried to make this chicken stock in the 8 quart, there were always boil overs, and because there was less room in the pot, some veggies were always getting burned on the bottom. None of this happens with the new Cuisinart 12 quart. There's ample room for even the largest of demands.

While it's a bit cumbersome for everyday use, it's terrific to have such a large pot for making things like large amounts of stock, or cooking up some lobsters, or a New Orleans style crab/crawfish boil. Clean up is pretty easy, especially if you have one of those pull out spray nozzles in the sink.

You can't beat the price or the quality.
