So far, I have been happy with other pots and pans of this set so I ordered the 8 qt. piece. The package this pot came in was undamaged so there was no problem during shipping. Yet, the lid/cover does not fit on it. Inspecting the pot, I found that the pot is not round. The diameter across the top where the handles are is almost 1/4" less than when I measure the top 90 degrees from the handles. The top of the pot is slightly oval. I measured the lid and it is perfectly round. At first I wondered if this was intended so steam could be released. But the user's guide says that the cover fits tightly to lock in flavor. The pot is just defective. I will revise this review when and if I can get this defective pot replaced. As I have said, I own the other pots and pans of this set and I love them.

Edit note my replacement came in and it fit fine. However, now one of the lids on my other pots (same brand and type) no longer fits correctly. I have not exposed the cookware to very high heat nor has it been dropped. All of the cookware it still fairly new and looks like new. But apparently this set can get out of round easily. Otherwise, its a great set. I would give the type of cookware 5 stars except that it won't stay round. I do lay the cookware upside down on a towel (gently) if it is hand washed to allow it to drain dry but I don't stack anything on top of it. There is no reason this cookware should not stay round and that the lids should not remain fitting snug. Also, there is no heat protection on the lid handle. The pot handles don't get very hot but care must be taken when removing the lid while food is cooking or one can get burned.

This is wider and therefore, lower than other pots, so it's no problem to fit on the fridge shelves. The aluminum is not as heavy as my 10 year old Technique from QVC, but I can't get that any more so this is a pretty good replacement.

This is a nice looking pan, and a handy size. Unfortunately, the bottom is real slippery, and the lid doesn't fit tight enough. We have ceramic grates on the stove, and this pan literally slips around on it. The pan is new, but I won't be using it for soups or boiling liquid...too dangerous. This is a lawsuit in the making.
