Well I have to share my newest, favorite pot with you! Just writing that statement makes me laugh because 3 years ago I gave up the cooking at our home and now it's my other half's job to keep me well fed.
But I guess after 50 + years of cooking, you never really lose that need to wander into the pots and pans isle of your favorite store just to see what's new and exciting for the kitchen.
Lo and behold, I found a new pot that I just love! So does the cook in my house. He loves it because he can make just about anything in it and I love it because while I gave up the cooking part, the clean up is my job forever. And this pot cleans up so easy!
So this new Pot is part of "The Rock" Soho Series This pot is the ultimate in versatility. We have used it to make one pot dinners, and even used it to make popcorn! The glass lid makes it fun to watch while the popcorn is popping!
While most frying pans are shallow this one is deep with sides that are not tapered but rather straight up. We use this pot almost everyday and my other frypans have been gathering dust now.
I was amazed at how nicely it browns onions, peppers and even potatoes. They don't stick to the bottom at all! Even when we used non-stick "Teflon coated" pans we would have something sticking to the bottom. Not so with this Rock Pot! It's even Gordon Ramsey approved!
It is available in 4 sizes in the USA and 3 sizes in Canada! Why the difference I will never know and it really doesn't bother me. We have the largest one and even though there are only two of us, we cook extra so that my "chef" can take a day or two off .
What I love is that it is durable, won't warp (as my teflon pot did), it's non-toxic and oven and dishwasher safe, That non-stick interior makes it really easy to clean anyway. Ours has never gone in the dishwasher because when my chef is done, I just use my little Scrub Daddy and some warm soapy water and swish it out. Clean as a whistle with little or no effort at all.
It can be used with electric, gas or ceramic top stoves and can even be used when cooking on the stove top and later in the oven without having to change up the pot! Versatility plus in my books.
I am so impressed with this pot that now I find myself wishing my other pots would break so I can replace them with a set from The Rock! And my Chef agrees!
What an awesome find! I know I would love the straight, deep sides instead of the sloped. I have a fabulous frying pan that I love, but I am quite tempted by this review to replace it just because of the sides. btw, unless I cook pork, I hand-wash my frying pans too.
