Buying Pot(s)
Anyone out there have any experience with Wolfgang Puck Cookware? Tired of using my giant 16-qt. stock pot for soup experiments, I'd been looking for a sturdy, medium-weight, medium-sized vessel and came across the WP 18/10 Stainless 8-qt. Bistro Stock Pot yesterday for $24.99--a bargain compared to most cookware I've ever purchased.
It has a nice look and feel (as in, the handles are acceptably designed and the weight is just right) and it has a tri-ply aluminum-encapsulated bottom ("for even heat distribution"), which in theory sounds great, but is different from any other pieces I own that have bottoms--even of different materials--ground seamlessly into the construction of the pot.
I bought the pot and decided to come home and research it before taking it out of the packaging. I found mixed reviews online--people either loved it or hated it. I don't wanna be a hater, so if you know something about this pot that would influence my decision to keep it, speak up. I'd rather return it to the store a happy camper than have it warp or corrode after its second use.
