Le Creuset Stainless Steel Stockpot, 7 qt.

A stainless steel stockpot is ideal for recipes that need steady simmering and plenty of volume, like soups, broths and boiled pasta. The tall sides help contain splashes while you cook larger batches.

Tri-ply construction refers to a layered build designed to heat quickly and evenly. In this stainless steel stockpot, that design helps reduce hot spots so simmering and boiling feel more consistent.

The stainless steel stockpot includes a self-sealing lid designed to lock in moisture during cooking. It also features an internal flange to help prevent stray drips plus a relief valve that vents excess steam.

The flared rim is designed for drip-free pouring, which helps when you are transferring stock or draining pasta. Riveted handles are designed to stay cool, but like most cookware handles they can warm up during extended cooking, so a towel or mitt is a smart idea.

The capacity is laser-etched on the base of the stockpot. It is a handy detail when you are scaling recipes or checking volume at a glance.
