🍲 Ecolution 8 Quart Stock Pot with Vented Glass Lid - Pure Intentions, Stainless Steel Review

Bought for intensive use, several times a week and so far it has held up. A few things to watch out for: The handles get very hot, so you'll need a good pair of oven mitts. The lid says it's tempered glass, but when it gets hot it "bursts" and it just makes me nervous. I use an old similar lid that I have had for several years.

Completely stupid, cumbersome for the user to choose the chosen label. Again, the pot is fine, but I would never buy an…

A great pan for steaming prawns, oysters and scallops. I set a small vented basket on the bottom, add about 1/2 cup of water, add whatever seafood I want and set over medium heat with the lid closed, and voila, excellent seafood steamed to perfection. The bottom distributes the heat as evenly as any pot I've ever owned. Tomorrow I'm going to bread some fresh shrimp and toss them in hot oil in this pan at 340-360 degrees for about 7-10 minutes to see how they come out. I bet they will be great…

For those of you wondering how to remove a large sticker from this item it's not that difficult. I made it in half an hour using materials I found around the house. The first thing you need to do is remove the waterproof vinyl membrane from the top. Start by picking a corner and digging with your fingernail. It's in there with an airtight seal, so you'll need to use some elbow grease. Most likely, it will break into small pieces, but don't be discouraged. If you break your nail, DO NOT get…
