Graniteware 3-Piece 19-Quart Clam and Lobster Steamer with Faucet Set Review

This may be a great pot when it's in good shape, but your chances of getting an undented one are close to zero. the first pot I got had a dented lid, and it was clearly damaged in transit. The box they shipped it in was very thin, and they did not double-box it. The replacement (which arrived very quickly - thank you Amazon) WAS double-boxed, and the inner box was not damaged at all (the outer was a mess, though)but when I opened it, I saw a huge dent, so severe that quite a bit of enamel was chipped off both inside and outside of the bottom pot. (see photo)So even though I still want this pot and Amazon's price is good, I'll pay more and buy it locally, where I can at least see what I'm getting. Going back and forth to UPS is a very annoying waste of time. Too bad both Granite Ware and Amazon don't understand that this product is delicate and must be handled carefully.

The large capacity pot is designed to accommodate large gatherings and produce outstanding results.The faucet helps drain off steamy liquids without getting burned. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won\'t burn and resists staining. It\'s also non -porous so it won\'t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time.When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.19 quart capacity

Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Slow cooker Review

With only two reviews to go by, it was somewhat hard to decide to purchase this product; however, I'm glad that I did. The handles make it very easy to carry, especially when the pot is full, and the secured lid is wonderful - no spills or losing of the lid while in transport! Something that one should know if purchasing this product is that the handles do get warm.
If you're one that does the potluck dinners, then this is a good traveling pot. It is not as awkward to carry, especially when it has food in it (as apposed to the other crock pots, where your knuckles brush against the side and you get burned while carrying it).
Personally I can only find one fault with this product and that is with the handles getting warm, but if I can carry/hold it for about 5 mins. without dropping it or setting it down, then it's not all that bad.
I bought mine at a store, so the price was under $30. Needless to say, I'm pleased with this product.

The appliance comes equipped with an "on" indicator light and a user-friendly control dial for choosing low or high heat settings; for selecting the keep-warm mode, which maintains an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking; and for switching the unit off.

The unit provides large, full-grip, stay-cool side handles; a tight-sealing glass lid with canister-style clips and a gasket to prevent messy spills when transporting; and a serving spoon that clips into the lid handle. Even more, the slow cooker offers a lid rest for easy stirring and serving and a recipe name slot with removable paper labels for quickly identifying what's inside (party recipes come included with matching name tags). Back home, the removable stoneware pot and lid clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Attractively housed in beautiful stainless steel, the slow cooker measures 14 by 10-1/2 by 10 inches.
