Cooks Standard 7-Quart Classic Hard Anodized Nonstick Stockpot

The Cooks Standard 7-quart hard anodized non-stick Dutch oven casserole stockpot, featuring a black finish, boasts a durable hard anodized surface that is stronger than stainless steel. The heavy-gauge aluminum core ensures even heat distribution, preventing hot spots and delivering exceptional cooking performance. The non-stick coating facilitates easy food release and effortless cleaning.

Equipped with a tempered glass lid protected by a stainless steel rim, the stockpot allows you to monitor the cooking process while retaining heat and moisture. The riveted stainless steel handle provides strength and a comfortable grip, making the pot easy to maneuver.

Designed for multipurpose functionality, this generous 7-quart capacity Dutch oven is suitable for a wide range of culinary tasks, from canning and jarring to stewing. It is oven-safe up to 500°F, while the glass lid can withstand temperatures up to 350°F, providing versatility in your cooking methods.

Despite its impressive performance, the Cooks Standard Dutch oven is not compatible with induction cooktops, as the aluminum pot bottom is not ferromagnetic and cannot be used for induction heating. However, it is fully compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and glass stovetops.

For easy maintenance, the stockpot is dishwasher-safe, although hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and extend the product's lifespan.

Measuring 16 by 11 by 4.5 inches and weighing 5.5 pounds, this Cooks Standard Dutch oven offers ample capacity and a sturdy, well-designed construction that will serve you well in the kitchen.

The even heat distribution provided by the heavy-gauge aluminum core ensures consistent cooking results, allowing you to prepare your meals with precision and confidence. The hard anodized surface, superior to ordinary non-stick pots, effectively prevents food from sticking to the bottom, promoting healthier cooking and easier cleanup.

The tempered glass lid with a steam vent allows you to monitor the cooking progress without compromising heat and moisture retention, while the comfortable, durable stainless steel handles provide a secure grip, making the pot easy to maneuver.

Whether you're simmering a hearty stew, canning preserves, or tackling any other culinary task, the Cooks Standard 7-quart Dutch oven casserole stockpot is a versatile and reliable choice for your kitchen.
