Ok, this is obviously not the same as the traditional All Clad stock pots, if it was it would be more then triple the price of this one without the 2 inserts. It is part of the disk bottom collection, however it is still top quality stainless steel and very well made. I certainly would not consider it secondary. It is a little lighter in weight than the traditional All Clad but it is not a light weight pot by any means. It is great for pasta, soup, stew, steaming veggies, etc. You will love it and you can't beat the price. It is very easy to clean and the inserts can be stacked and stored inside. A+

Tip: If you should get something stuck to the stainless steel use a product called "Bar Keepers Friend" to clean it. Most supermarkets have it and Kitchen Etc. and Bed, Bath and Beyond carry it too. The container (like a Comet can) is gold with blue and white writing. All Clad recommends it for cleaning stainless steel and it works like a dream and is very inexpensive.

I'm always amazed at reviews that express shock or disappointment at the product. This is because Amazon does a great job with being clear and up front on items...especially all-clad.

This item is a particular value. I found it to be as good as most of my all-clad collection, and having the same sturdy construction. Considering the lid, the pot, the two baskets, I regard this not simply as a quality item, but an exceptional value too.

It may not be great for a lobster bake, but for soups, stock, pasta, shellfish like mussels or clams, shrimp...it is a hit. Best of all, there is no obligation to keep a product you don't like.

I think this will be one of the pieces I use most frequently.

Best Deals for All-Clad 59912 Stainless Steel with Aluminum Disc Bottom 12-Quart

I am so irritated. After renovating my kitchen and installing a KitchenAid 30" induction cooktop, I needed to purchase a number of new induction-compatible cookware items... days before hosting Thanksgiving. I purchased this beautiful-looking 12-quart stock pot with pasta and steamer baskets, ecstatic that I would be able to use it for a number of Thanksgiving dishes.

My stress level took a hit when I discovered while trying to boil potatoes that the stock pot does not work with induction cooktops. This, despite the lengthy (but apparently pro-forma) description about All-Clad's craftsmanship being suitable for inductions. So the 15 potatoes in water that would not boil had to be cooked over at a relative's house, and the turkey soup made from the leftover carcass will have to wait until I can purchase a conduction-ready stock pot.

Honest reviews on All-Clad 59912 Stainless Steel with Aluminum Disc Bottom 12-Quart

I bought this beleiving it was for induction cooking like it said. Open the box and placed it in my cabinet. Went to use it after 5 weeks and did not work on my induction cooktop.

Now I understand it is to late to send it back, what do I do with it.

I am trying to contact Amazon, to see if they would take this back being that they said it was induction and it is not.

I purchased this on a whim through my little gold box (back when it wasn't full of jewelry offers). It was a little larger than I had expected but this has turned out to be great. I make pasta and stock (chicken and beef) in it all the time. Nothing has ever burned on me using an electric or gas stove. I was a bit hesitant based on some of the reviews but honestly found this product very useful. I would not think twice about buying it again. I gave it one less star because the lid is a little unlike the quality of the rest of All-Clad's products but I usually don't cook on the lid.
