Great pot - heavy bottom - cleans easily
December 28, 2012
We have several D5 pots, but this one was bought specifically to cook candy in. The thick bottom and rounded edge make stirring easy. This pot is taller and works so well for things that might boil over in a regular stock pot. We have used it several times, no burning, no boil overs and the 2 handles are perfect. I love it and wish we had bought it years ago for making all of our Christmas candies. Now .. onto winter soups.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Shape, Weight

My go to pot
December 19, 2012
7 qt is perfect size and shape for everyday. Bartenders friend keeps in in top shape, easy to clean. Wish I had bought it sooner. I have 6 d5 pans and love them all, but this one is an essential I should have bought first.
Only con is size - but i wanted this size so I leave it on my stove- Rather than store it in the garage pantry.

Don't know how I've lived without it....
September 17, 2012
Purchased the 12 qt D5 in February of 2011. At first I was so 'careful' with it because it is very expensive. Not anymore. I don't know how I canned tomatoes and juice without it. Have made homemade chicken broth, chili, soups, etc. It really helped me when I made my peach butter this fall -- no worry about scorching during the long slow cook, and it's big enough to keep the splatters inside. Use a dab of Barkeeper's friend for cleaning. I'm sold on All-clad.
Pros: Durable, Quality, Design

finally complete
August 20, 2012
I added this 8 QT d5 stock pot to the 15 piece d5 set I got for my birthday two years ago. This was the only thing lacking to make the perfect set to complete the cooking of stews, chili, stocks and soupls. Granted the pasta pentola is good, but too tall to be perfect for stews, etc. My set is finally complete.
Pros: Durable, Quality, Versatile, Shape, Design, Weight

All-Clad d5 Stainless Stockpots
June 22, 2012
After bad experiences using All-Clad tri-ply pots & pans on an old electric stove (the pans warped, got hot spots, produced burned food at medium heat), I invested in a d5 fry pan. Perfect performance--so much better than the tri-ply., and well worth the higher expense, I now have the d5 7 and 8-qt stockpots, which perform magnificently as dutch ovens. I've used these pots for all stages of stew & sauce prep, from initial sauteing of ingredients to long, slow simmering of (e.g.) Bolognese sauce or thick beef stew cooked in wine. Nothing burns, or sticks to the pans even when I forget to stir frequently.. Love these d5 pots & pans!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Design, Weight
Cons: Difficult to Store

A Quality Piece of Cookware
January 25, 2012
We have a number of All-Clad Tri-Ply stainless steel pots and pans, and love them all. The 8 qt d5 stock pot is another quality piece of cookware. Aesthetically it's a joy to look at and its cooking qualities match its appearance. We have an induction stovetop which necessitates cookware with a perfectly flat bottom and our All-Clad cookware fulfills that requirement. I also like that they're made in the U.S.A..
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design, Weight, attractive

7 Qt. is Great Replacement for Pentola Pot!
June 10, 2011
Several years ago I purchased a pasta pentola set, which I discovered recently will not work with induction. On a whim, I tried fitting this stock pot with the pasta insert. Perfect fit! I've used it several times since with the pasta insert and it works beautifully. It also works very well for strawberry preserves, heating very evenly and quickly on an induction burner. Great product!

Great, but not grand.
August 21, 2010
Great weight, great All-Clad design and it's D5. A tremendous pot for many uses. You'll end up spending a bit over $400 for the 12 qt stockpot and for that price it should be perfect. However, individual All-Clad pieces are seldom perfect, as I'm discovering. The first one I looked at had a warp on the lip of the pot. The second one had a few little dig out spots on the lip. All of the pots I looked at had sloppy polishing under the outside lip of the pot, with grooves. Run your finger under the outside lip of the pot and you'll feel what I mean. I ended up looking at 5 pots before picking the best of the bad, so to speak. Yes, I'm a perfectionist, but if you spend $400 on a pot, it should be perfect. My advice, inspect your All-Clad pot before you take it home. If it is not perfect, ask the fabulous WS sale's person to bring another one, or even another. They are happy to do this. Even the All-Clad rep agreed it's best to inspect the pots before taking them home.

8 qt is just right
March 1, 2010
Plenty large enough for a BIG pot of chicken tortilla soup or corn chowder. The upgrades on D5 are excellent!
