Review of J.A. Henckels International Classic Clad 3-1/2-Quart Dutch Oven with Lid

I am thrilled with this purchase.

After purchasing and using the 1 quart saucepan for awhile, I decided to splurge and replace my old, cheaper SS pots with this brand.
I gave me great pleasure to donate the old ones to a charity.

I'm not likely to ever need new ones again, because these pots are so well made.My older ones would develop hot spots and tend to scorch unless you were glued to the pot while cooking.
This brand of cookware does an excellent job.The heat is evenly dispersed, the handles are hefty, they are very sturdy without the weight of enameled cast iron in similar sizes and they clean up easily.

What more could I ask for?

This 3.5 quart pot is a great size and very versatile.
The inside of the pot is 8 inches across.If you include the rolled lip (another great feature), it's 8.5 inches across.
The inside measurements are an added bonus.They consist of both qt and liter measurements, making it easy to add liquids without using a measuring cup.
The pot is almost 4.5 inches high. A great size for many stovetop and oven meals.

We have a 2 quart le creuset french oven that I use often, but it's not large enough for many things.I've given away some of my larger enameled cast iron cookware because they are so heavy that I found them cumbersome to use and clean.

I've purchased the Henckels Classic Clad in the 1 qt, 2 qt, 3.5 qt, 6 qt and 8 qt sizes and fully expect them to serve me and whoever inherits them indefinately.

Product Description
Henckels International Clad Cookware is tri-ply cookware composed of 18/10 stainless, aluminum and magnetic stainless.The middle aluminum layer extends from the base up the sides of the pan so the heat is conducted evenly throughout the pan.This increases the cooking performance of the pan and eliminates hot spots, which can burn foods because of uneven heating when cooking. The stainless steel material on the interior cooking surface and outside of the pan is high strength, resistant to rusting and does not react when in contact with food.
