NEW 24-QUART HEAVY-GAUGE STAINLESS STEEL (18/10) STOCK POT W/ GLASS LID COVER

Not all that crazy about it
I wish I could give it 2 and a 1/2 stars instead of three.

Good:

Price
Weight- Actually feels like it really is made of stainless steel.
Lid- Not all pots out there come with lids for that price.

Not good:

Doesn't QUITE look like the picture. The photo shows a rounded off bottom that gets smaller toward the bottom, but what I received was a bottom that bulged out further than the rest of the body of the pot.
Received with a slight dent on the bottom of the pot, right where the heavy gauge steel ends and the thinner steel begins
The box the pot came in had grammatical errors.
This was the most annoying feature: having the lid on while cooking. I was cooking corned beef with the water level and food well below the halfway point of the pot and cooking at a mild simmer. The lid has a little steam release button in the top, which water spattered through and sprayed and got all over my kitchen floor and counter. I had...

Works and works well, but still some issues
Do not get me wrong, this is a VERY nice stock pot. I haven's tried to test it to see is it really allows for all 24 quarts, however, I have used it in cooking and I must say it is very nice and works like a charm.

Good:
Pot is VERY large and shaped well to work well with my gas stove.
Glass lid makes it very easy to see into.
Clean up is VERY easy and simple.
handles don't accumulate heat like other stock pots and so moving it is easy and safe

Bad:
Lid must not be made of stainless steel as it has started growing rust like coloration around the part of the lid that connects with the medal.
When I got pot the top of the pot, not the lid but the top of the actual pot, had some kind of weird long black spot on it. It doesn't wash off, and I still have no idea what it is.
The pot doesn't really look like what is shown in the picture. They look similar, but either not the same, or the picture shown is just a bad one.

Over...

Great item for the value
Just received my stock pot today. Love, love, love it. Haven't used it yet, but by the way it looks and feels, I'm sure I will be very pleased. Would highly recommend this...
