Sitram Profiserie 16.5 Liter Commercial Stainless Steel Stockpot
Best Product From Sitram
Summer Stock
Most of my cookware is from the All-Clad stainless steel line, as I require pots that are made of magnetic steel in order to work with my induction cooktop. I also like the workmanship of the All-Clad pots. I bought this Sitram stockpot after returning a similar pot by All-clad, having found, contrary to stipulation, that it was not induction capable.
The Sitram pots are sturdy, durable, and perform as represented. They are not as perfectly finished as the pricey All-Clads, but this need not concern you unless you are a well-heeled perfectionist. While the Sitram pots have a thick steel-aluminum-steel sandwich in their base, the aluminum does not extend up the sides. The All-Clads claim to have an aluminum core throughout the pot, but in my experience this is not a vital distinction.
I made my first batch of stock a few days ago using my new Sitram stockpot. I began by browning the chicken parts and onions in the stockpot on my induction cooktop, and can report...

Good Saucepan
I disagree with the previous reviewer, though I have not had to contact Sitram's customer service. That is because the Sitram pot I own (same line but 3.3 Quart) has performed flawlessly for 6+ years of regular use.
Sitram pots/pans hava a terrific thick sandwiched base and it provides optimal heat dirtribution on both electric and gas cooktops. I havent had any problems with the construction. Don't hesitate to try one of these saucepans, especially at the low Amazon prices!
Good value,good construction, good choice
The thick aluminum disc is probably not necessary if you just want a pot to boil pasta (4 qt. is a pretty good size if you are cooking for one), but if you want to brown meat for a one pot stew it's great.
