Winware SSSP-10 Product reviews

Winware SSSP-10 Review by Jeb Baker (Danbury, CT United States)

I got this 4.5 pot as a replacement for a "non-stick" pot that had it's coating wearing off (and I've read some bad things about these non-stick coatings), so my requirements for a new pot were that it had to be stainless steel, had to have a single handed capable handle (as many pots this size have the two-handed short handles) and it had to be inexpensive. This pot fit the bill. Upon arrival I hand washed it and noticed that the welds used to fasten the long handle to the pot could be felt as very tiny pimples on the inside of the pot. I am concerned that the welding may eventually fail or rust, but have no proof as of yet. So that is why this review only gives it 3 stars. The pot came with a small sheet (5" x 5") of paper, "Care and cleaning", and "Good to know" notes. Some of the things they advise you that you should know: It's dishwasher safe. Don't add salt to your food until the water's boiling, otherwise you might get salt stains. Don't clean it with steel wool, cause it will scratch it. The "slightly concave" base gets flatter when heated, so don't clean it until it cools, otherwise it might warp. And so(obviously)don't let the food boil dry either. Don't use the pot for food storage, or your food might end up tasting metallic. (It's true, stainless steel continuously oxidizes.) And lastly, check the handle and knob for looseness before use. (hmm..)

The lid is OK too. Just wish they would make lids with a nob that doesn't get hot, instead of the metal handles they seem to always use now. But I suppose that would drive up the cost.

Note addendum 06/11/2011 almost 1 year later, pot holding up very well, upping rating to 4 stars. My wife has long forgotten the cleaning and caring notes, so we do have some salt stains. Eh. Other than that, it's in great shape.

Winware SSSP-10 Review by B. Wagner (Miami)

The 6 quart pot is great. Very solid and, at that size, pretty big. In my experience, heating seems even on the cooking surface, and the lid is just as firmly built and fits well. My biggest annoyance in the kitchen is thin, uneven pans and this is NOT one of them. Great solid pan for cooking any number of things.

Winware SSSP-10 Review by William Ausband

This pot is great. It has a thick bottom and tight fitting lid. It's large enough even for whole spaghetti if you give it a minute to soften. I got it for making candies but haven't done that yet. I've used it for potatoes, rice and paste, it's just about perfect for all 3. The lid does get hot and the handle gets warm (but not quickly). The handle has 2 or 3 spot wields that are completely flush on the inside. This could be an issue but I'd think not for years. I plan on getting more of this brand. Possibly even converting all my pots and pans to Winware.
