Rachael Ray Enamel On Steel Stockpot with Glass Lid



Not a good value
I bought this on clearance "all sales final", so I couldn't return it. Still doesn't excuse the issues.

1. The enamel flaked off the handle as soon as I removed it from the box. Just touched it and a huge chunk came off. I pained over it with home enamel repair to prevent it from rusting.

2. First use, a big spot of enamel came off the inside. Like a pimple on the side. Doesn't impact its use (unless it rusts), but its annoying to pay good money and have it fail on first use. And, of course, someone probable ate that enamel, since we never found it.

3. Finally, the lid doesn't fit right. Its about 3/16" too small in diameter, so it shifts around on top. If you set it right, it seals. If you don't, or it pressurizes, it shifts off and doesn't keep heat in.

The enamel chips on the bottom
Bought this and was pleased with the look, but I made a pot of chili and if you leave this on the stove for two hours on low, the bottom enamel will start to bubble and chip. Needless to say I was really upset. My whole pot of chili had crunchy little white things in it and was RUINED. I will NEVER buy any Racheal Ray product ever again. Poorly made. Waste of money.

Piece of garbage
My wife got this for her birthday. On the first use (NO JOKE) the soup she was making burned. She is an experienced cook and was cooking on low heat. When she poured the soup out she saw the pot had burned in the bottom. It's been sitting with water in it the past 4-5 days, but that scarred mark is not coming out. This thing is an utter piece of garbage!
