I made a pot of Bolognese yesterday, and found that this 6-quart pot is just the right size for me. I use Marcella Hazan's recipe, which I adapt for one pound of ground turkey (7%) by multiplying every ingredient by 1.33. Perfect size. I have All-Clad's 4-quart soup pot, which is too narrow for breaking up meat efficiently, and the 8-quart stockpot, which is too high. 6-quart is just right. When you braise, it's good to have a pot that's not too tall, or the moisture can dry out before getting to fall back on what you're cooking. Since I'm single, I don't make a large amount of food 90% of the time to justify using the 8-quart size, and the 8-quart has mostly sat on the shelf. I imagine I'll use this one so often, I'll just keep it on the stovetop.

This may be one of the most beautiful tea kettles you can buy. And that's why I bought it. It is disappointing that the whistle doesn't really seal very well and the steam escaped from the sides and so the sound and function of the whistle just aren't what they should be. A little engineering could solve this problem.

I had my first kettle like this for 6 years and it served me beautifully. I burned it maybe 20 times and the last time it was sitting on the burner for maybe an hour without the water and survived. Just a little easy off spray and looked great again with one exception - whistle spring failed. Pros: great durable product and finish, 2 qts, wide bottom, boils quickly. Cons: Metal handle requires glove most of the time

Very happy with this kettle. We have a gas stove so it was important to have no plastic parts on it. Definitely heats quickly and has a pretty good capacity.

I love this tea pot. We boil water every morning for coffee and tea. It has a beautiful shine. Easy to clean. The opening at the top is large enough to get your hand and a sponge in for easy scrubbing. The shape is timeless and the handle is very sturdy. It looks like a piece of sculpture on the stove top.
