Penguin Home Stock Pot 24 cm, 5 Litre Stainless Steel Stockpot with Glass Lid & Steam Vents Induction Safe Soup Pot Soup Pan Casserole Pot Double Pouring Lips Cooking Pot Set - 24 x 12cm

When this arrived I thought it was smaller than expected, despite using the new (and quite fun) virtual 'view in your room' facility to size it up. It is 7ltr but wow only just! the 7th-litre marker is right on the rim of the pot! So I'm never going to fill it that full and might be in the market for the next size up if I'm cooking for parties of 8-12 people. However, for the 4 of us, it makes plenty to eat that day and freeze for later. This replaced an old pot that didn't work on our ceramic induction hob and so never got used. My worry was would it work? The answer is yes! It heats up very fast despite the solid (but not heavy) base and the heat is evenly dispersed. It cleans easily and is so stainless we've even used it for stove-top clothes dying. When we bought ours it was £52 now it's £35.99 so good value. Might buy another one.

Great pan. Great size. Love it!

The casserole pot was a competitive price ,just the right size and come with a metal lid. It is easy to clean and the handles are robust and securely fixed with rivets. If I was being really fussy the edge of the handles are a little sharp to touch and could be improved by rounding off the square edge. That said when removing the hot pot from the oven you would need a couple of tea towels or an oven glove anyway.I have achieved some great casseroles with this stainless steel pot a batch of food can make about 8 servings/person mealsLawrence from Oakham

Good priceGood quality

This has been ideal for making large quantities of jam and soup. It will also be good for preserving jars of tomatoes too. Deep enough to cover the jars. A great addition to my kitchen cookware.

We bought one Penguin pan we liked, so we bought three more. Two of them were a waste of money due to the poor quality. So buy at your own risk.The Stock Pot has been a good purchase so far, as it's of a decent size and is holding together. We bought another two pots from Penguin, which didn't do so well.So, despite this one working out, I would not recommend buying anything from this manufacturer.

It's a pot, and it's good for soups and stews not much else to say

The media could not be loaded. My pot lid doesn’t fit perfectly. I really do want the pot but the lid just doesn’t sit right. I have used it once, is there a way to get an exchange still?
