With my induction cooktop, this is a great pot for cooking all kinds of pasta noodles. It is tall enough even for long lasagna noodles, but light weight enough to drain with little effort.It is also relatively easy to clean. (If pasta sticks, I just soak it for a bit and it cleans with little effort.) This is NOT the pot I would choose for making a soup or stew. The traditional Le Creuset or the Lodge Enameled Cast Iron both work with induction and traditional cook tops, and they are much better for long term braising, simmering, and reduction.

When looking for a stock pot, I decided on this Le Creuset model because I loved the color and the price. With the All-Clad and Calphalon models I looked at priced between $225 and $450, this pot, at $55 caught my eye as ti was a good brand name but at the cheaper brand (T-Fal) price. And as you might expect, you do get what you pay for.This is NOT a high performance pot. I made a pot of tomato soup with my first use, and right away noticed the pot had a hot spot, with the boiling bubbles coming from the same spot no matter how the pot was turned on the burner of the induction stove. It wasn't a major issue, but not something I would expect from the LeCreuset brand. I think the pot will be fine for making stock, soups, chili, and stews, but as a couple of reviewers have noted, it does have a tendency to have food stick to the bottom except on low heat. I had a little tomato burned to the bottom on the quarter sized hot spot I had noticed, but it cleaned up easily and seemingly completely.I don't expect this pot will last a life time and I will eventually replace it with a higher quality, higher performance pot, but it's still a good value for the money. I happened to pick mine up at another brick and mortar store that regularly sends me 20% off coupons, so at $44 bucks this was a decent purchase.Don't buy this pot if you think you are getting high quality at the bargain price. At least in this case, you definitely get what you pay for... and for my $50, I'd rather have this pot than some of the similarly priced pieces from the local Discount-mart.I give it three stars for value. It's not the best pot, but it might be one of the best at this price.

This pot is also fabulous for cooking pasta. No sticky pasta stuck on the bottom which happens with the regular large dutch oven style Le Creuset pots.
