The DEMEYERE of Belgium 8.5 Quart Stock Pot is a high-quality cooking essential made of 18/10 stainless steel. This two-piece set includes a stockpot with a lid, suitable for use on induction, electric, and gas stoves. With a 5-ply construction, this pot is designed for even heat distribution and durability. Its generous capacity of 8.5 quarts makes it ideal for cooking large meals, while the easy-to-clean surface ensures convenience in the kitchen. Made in Belgium, this stockpot is a versatile addition to any kitchen, featuring a classic round shape and silver color. PLEASE SEE: THIS POT IS NEW AND NEVER BEEN USED, BUT THERE IS A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE TOP FROM ATTEMPT TO WIPE IT DOWN AND THERE IS STAIN FROM TAPE THAT I USED TO HOLD DOWN THE LID ON THE BODY OF THE POT. IT IS NEW WITHOUT ANY DEFECTS.
