I originally got this so I could make a big Turkish Coffee every morning, and that's all I did with it for weeks, and it is excellent at that, keeping the boil/foam in, making enough for a big drink and a snap to clean with just a nylon scrubbie and dishsoap in a moment. It heats quickly, looks great after dozens and dozens of uses and works great for the purpose.
HOWEVER, I've also used it to do reductions, melt butter, cheese, reheat gravy, quickly make hot tea, blanch grape tomatoes, and a bunch of other little things that you'd normally use a small or medium saucier to do. The base on this is heavy: it heats evenly... across the flat bottom. Keep the flame within the diameter of the disc... which is good. You won't use as much energy and your water/sauce/gravy, whatever, will boil!
The only warning I would offer is a handling one and a cleaning one. The handle does get hot, because the pot is not very wide, so heat rising up the side heats the extra heavy gauge wire handle. Use a mitt or potholder. Also, NEVER EVER USE STEEL WOOL OR ABRASIVE POWDER on the inside: the reason is that the measurements are lightly etched, not deep etched, on the inside. You could wipe them away in a few cleanings if you're not careful. Soak for ten minutes, use a nylon scrubby if needed for burnt milk or chocolate, and you're good to go. Remember to keep the disc clean from any build up so you don't get hot spots!
Great, useful little pot you'll go to often!

I have been using this pot for over a year. Friends who visit have been so impressed that I end up sending it home with them and having to order more. Be sure to dry it out after every use to keep it looking bright and clean.Best Deals for Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel 8 Cup Multi Pot
this is the second one i have had of this item...the first one i had for a few years...i used it every day...basically, i used it for water, but periodically it was called into service for things like oatmeal or soups...i loved the size, the ease of cleaning it, although how dirty can it get from boiling water...i loved that the handle never got hot...this item was called to duty several times during the day and it always sat on top of the stove...i loved that i could see from the inside how much liquid i was pouring into it...one day, i was cooking the water for tea...i went into the bedroom to look something up on the computer and somehow, i got involved with my computer...i totally forgot about the water on the stove...about twenty minutes later, i returned to the kitchen and an awful smell, only to find that my water was gone and the bottom of the pan was black inside and out...i scrubbed and scrubbed, but most of the black would not come off...i then tried to boil water again in it only to find that it sat and rocked on the burner because i had warped the bottom of it...i tried to use some different pots, but i found that i missed the measurements on the inside and the ease of the handle that stayed cool for pouring and after about 5 days, i searched the computer for another one, which i found on amazon and we are now living happily ever after together...now, when i am boiling a cup or 2 of water in it, i hang around in the kitchen until it is done...
so, thankfully, my story ended well... purchasing this item on amazon was great...it arrived in a few days...i have always had good luck purchasing on amazon and delivery has always been speedy...my first pot has now been relegated to watering a plant or two and will probably end up as a plant holder or be relegated to my grandchildren's sandbox, but the problem was with me, not with it...i guess it would be great if it had a loud whistle that could be heard all around the house, that would go off when someone left the room and forgot about it...i bet i am not the first person that has done this...hope you don't make the same mistake....
Honest reviews on Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel 8 Cup Multi Pot
The stainless steel got stained after boiling milk. Really tried to clean it, but it was impossible... therefore not a good purchase choiceFind helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel 8 Cup Multi Pot
Having already owned one of these for 5 yrs, I decided to order a second one for the camper.This little pot is THE PERFECT SIZE, fits EXACTLY over the small burner on your stove. MEASUREMENTS are MARKED INSIDE !!! How perfect is that?? "Add water to here, add milk to here, add mac/n/cheese mix, etc"
I have also found that it is PERFECT for boiling One Dozen Eggs.
If you do happen to burn the outside when cooking over an open fire, etc, it CLEANS UP EASILY with one of those little Scotch Pad sponge things.
What else can I say, I LOVE this awkward looking little pot.
