The 6 quart pot is great. Very solid and, at that size, pretty big. In my experience, heating seems even on the cooking surface, and the lid is just as firmly built and fits well. My biggest annoyance in the kitchen is thin, uneven pans and this is NOT one of them. Great solid pan for cooking any number of things.

I got this 4.5 pot as a replacement for a "non-stick" pot that had it's coating wearing off (and I've read some bad things about these non-stick coatings), so my requirements for a new pot were that it had to be stainless steel, had to have a single handed capable handle (as many pots this size have the two-handed short handles) and it had to be inexpensive. This pot fit the bill. Upon arrival I hand washed it and noticed that the welds used to fasten the long handle to the pot could be felt as very tiny pimples on the inside of the pot. I am concerned that the welding may eventually fail or rust, but have no proof as of yet. So that is why this review only gives it 3 stars. The pot came with a small sheet (5" x 5") of paper, "Care and cleaning", and "Good to know" notes. Some of the things they advise you that you should know: It's dishwasher safe. Don't add salt to your food until the water's boiling, otherwise you might get salt stains. Don't clean it with steel wool, cause it will scratch it. The "slightly concave" base gets flatter when heated, so don't clean it until it cools, otherwise it might warp. And so(obviously)don't let the food boil dry either. Don't use the pot for food storage, or your food might end up tasting metallic. (It's true, stainless steel continuously oxidizes.) And lastly, check the handle and knob for looseness before use. (hmm..)The lid is OK too. Just wish they would make lids with a nob that doesn't get hot, instead of the metal handles they seem to always use now. But I suppose that would drive up the cost.
Note addendum 06/11/2011 almost 1 year later, pot holding up very well, upping rating to 4 stars. My wife has long forgotten the cleaning and caring notes, so we do have some salt stains. Eh. Other than that, it's in great shape.
Best Deals for Winware Stainless Steel Sauce Pans
Nice, tall sauce pan with more volume than most other sauce pans.The thick bottom holds the heat extremely well, which is one of the major reasons I bought it. Super pricey pots and pans usually have 5-8 (or so?) layers of metal on the bottom which really helps to buffer from the stove, and helps cooks make less mistakes. The thick bottom on this one, though it is only 2 types of metal (I think) act in a similar way.
The lid is a little cheesy, small and thin, but it fits and does its job.
Honest reviews on Winware Stainless Steel Sauce Pans
This 'sauce' pan works great for stovetop popcorn! I specifically searched for a pot for this purpose and am very happy with how this pot performs. Heats great, pops the corn in short order, and the lid stays on (so no oil splatters). If you get this pot, I think you'll like it too.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Winware Stainless Steel Sauce Pans
Several of my pots are Cuisinart Tri-Ply. However the 2 qt cuisinart is rather expensive so I opted for this one instead. It works great as a induction pot. Actually better than the cuisinart in some ways. Since only the bottom heats up the time to boil was actually faster. I timed one cup of water to boil. Times were. Cuisinart in 1 qt pot 1:43, Winco 2 qt 1:32, ( Max Burton Induction cooktop setting 5) Microwave (1000) Watt 2:00 minutes. Since the sides don't heat up as in triply it probably wont keep the food warm as long, once your remove it for the heat source, but for just getting something to boil fast this is great. Nice lid too.
