This has a great temp consistence across the base and the sides of the pan. I did a few test temp measures and the center of the pan compared to the side of the pan only had a 5 degree Fahrenheit loss from the middle of the bottom to 3 inches up on the side.

Awesome pot! I could no longer use my heavy cat iron Dutch oven and bought this to replace it. Works just as good if not better than my old Dutch oven. The splatter guard lid is a great bonus that fits great on my frying pans too. Well worth the money!

The All-Clad D5 8 qt pot with strainer is a beautiful piece of cookware. It comes very well packaged, the strainer, lid and pot all secured in two separate boxes (and has a limited lifetime warranty).The strainer seats nicely on the pot. It doesn’t make a ‘tight’ seal of course, it’s not designed to. But it sits level, and it pours well. When holding the strainer onto the pot and pouring water out of it, very little drips down the outside of the pot, which is nice. And, it’s easy to hold the strainer on the pot when pouring because of the ample (and sturdy) handle design on both pot and strainer. You could use it to strain pasta of most any size, although angel hair might get caught up a bit in the holes. I can see using it to strain homemade stock, which will be very convenient.On it’s own, it’s a rather heavy pot even without the lid & strainer, which is quite sturdy as well. I have a ‘made-in’ brand 8 qt. pot that I bought last year (it is the ‘duller’ one in the photos), and it weighs noticeably less. Not by much, but less. If you’re older or have an issue with lifting, just know that when not quite filled with water the weight would be around 25 lbs. Eight qts. water = ~16 lbs. (in any pot, of course).This is not a negative by any means, as any well made, commercial-quality cookware isn’t apt to be lightweight. It’s just something I pay attention to now that I’m older.I don’t have induction, so I can’t speak to that feature. I also haven’t cooked in it (*update below) – I just put it through the paces of checking the seating of the strainer and lid (both sit properly on the pot, no warping or gaps), pouring water out of it and checking to see how well it pours (very nice), and setting it on my iron/gas burners to see that it sits evenly, which it does. I have no reason to think that it won’t be a pleasure to cook in, especially with 5 ply and a rating to 600F, there isn’t anything not to like…if there ever is, I’ll definitely update my review.**UPDATE: I’ve cooked in this pot several times now and it performs as expected.I like that it is wider rather than tall. I’m short, so a tall pot is harder for me to manage (as in, to see down into without sticking my whole head over the pot), and I like a shorter pot better for storage purposes as well. This pot is just a tad shorter than the Made-In brand pot; in the photo where they are side by side on the stove, note that the (adjustable) burner is sitting higher under this pot making it look taller than the Made-In on the left, but it’s not. The pot alone is actually about 1/4″ shorter than the Made-In, and it has a lower profile lid handle.Although the All-Clad is a brushed stainless, the Made-In has a less shiny finish, if that matters to you. It doesn’t to me, I’m just showing it for comparison. Both are very nice.I have a tall 12 qt. All-Clad that is around 15 years old, and it still looks like new.This All-Clad D5 cookware is definitely attractive, heavy-duty, ‘home-chef’ cookware that should last a lifetime, and then some.
