Amazon.com ReviewAnolon cookware is known for its performance and rugged beauty, and the nonstick hard-anodized line showcases both qualities without costing a fortune. Fashioned with commercial styling and striking color contrast, the cookware is made from dark gray hard-anodized aluminum with polished stainless-steel handles. Both durable and quick conducting, the construction stands up to years of use and eliminates hot spots, scorching, and uneven results. Anolon also coats each piece with a professionally tested nonstick layer that cuts down on the need for fats in cooking while ensuring easy food release and speedy cleanup. Other appealing features include comfortable and heat-resistant HollowCore handles and break-proof low-profile hard-anodized lids.
This 5-quart covered stockpot is a nice size for making soup for four or cooking up shaped pasta for a small group. Fitted with a weighty hard-anodized lid, the piece brings water or stock to a boil quickly, and the nonstick coating is especially helpful for starchy or creamy dishes. Easy to wash up by hand, both pot and lid are oven-safe to 500 degrees F. Anolon includes a lifetime limited warranty. --Emily Bedard

Also, a very minor note of consideration, one should be careful about moving or rotating the pot (or Anolong ... Read More
Anolon 5QT Stockpot
If you need a smaller stock/soup pot, you just can not go wrong with this one. I have plenty of large stockpots and needed a smaller one. This is perfect, quality is great, it looks like it will last for ever (and I am not one to be careful with my cookware). I highly recommend it.
love analon...but too small
I love analon but as I stated in my 8" pan review this too is a lot small than I thought it would be.
