This pot is very well made just like all my other Cuisinart pots and pans. It distributes heat evenly with the heavy bottom. I have a pretty large stew pot from the set of Cuisinart pans that I already owned. This one is the perfect step in between.
I have been using my set of Cuisinart for about 15 years now. Previously we had other brand name sets with Teflon that would have to be replaced in about 5 years, did not do a good sear and weren't made to go in the oven. Cast iron was not an option due to my glass top stove. I finally went for the solid stainless steel set of Cuisinart and have never regretted it. I thought that I would not like the frying pans but find that they are wonderful to use and easy to clean when you know a couple of tricks (I will share at the end.) They are excellent to sear steaks with a finish in the oven.
This pot lives up to the quality of all my other Cuisinart pots and pans and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Cleaning tips:
I use my skillets to sear steaks at very high heat then do a finish in a hot oven. After I remove the steaks and they are resting, I immediately put the hot pan into the sink and add water to it. This is like adding wine to your pan to 'deglaze' only this is for cleaning purposes. Then I use the spatula to scrape any stubborn bits. Most often I can get all the bits this way. For any stubborn bits and discoloration I use soft scrub; apply and let sit a few minutes then use a scrubbie. I can get the pan clean and put away before the steaks are done resting.

My Go-To Pot!
I use this for everything and it still looks great and clean. Yes the handles get hot, it's stainless steel! I'm sick of teflon coming off and having to repurchase pots every few years. Stainless steel is awesome. I only use cast iron and stainless steel now for everything I do in the kitchen. There can be some staining, which is normal for any stainless steel item and usually harmless. Google for more info about types of stains. You can use certain cleaners on them like bar keeper's friend or other stainless steel ones. I have never used a special cleaner on it except for one time. It has always been pretty easy to clean, even the extra dirty times and I use a non-scratch sponge for cleaning. A few times I let it go in the dishwasher, but usually prefer to wash by hand. I came back here to buy more sizes and was surprised at the negative reviews. I specifically looked this pot up a year and a half ago, which was nearly 10 years after my uncle gifted a stainless steel frying pan. I didn't know how to use it at first, so I hated it. Then when I have had to repurchase whole sets multiple times and that stainless steel pan keeps right on surviving, I was converted. There's a learning curve to cooking with stainless steel, it is different than non-stick, so if you want amazing pots that last and don't chip crap into your food, don't forget to do some research on how to cook with stainless steel. Also, I still have and use the first stainless steel pan that I got now 12 years ago!
