This pot is the same height all the way around. The picture noted is a VERY good example of what it looks like. The cover is very snug with clips holding in place. On a scale of 1:10 - I would give it a 9.5 :) (nothing is perfect). I also like the fact that it is stainless steal and therefore has a study feel to it. I trust this was helpful. God bless you.

Is the cover difficult to get on once taken off "YES!!" What is helpful, putting it in position i.e. so the cover opens on the left side IF you are RIGHT handed or opens on the right side IF you are LEFT handed. It DOES snap on at the clip areas using FORCE. The clips with the longer tabs go front to back. It is VERY secure... Realizing that there were no instructions for cleaning after seasoning (with oil), it seems that it simply gets thoroughly wiped out of oil residue and chaff between popping uses. I hope this was helpful. BTW: Mine is the STAINLESS STEEL popper... I do not know IF the design is EXACTLY the same. Is the cover difficult to get on once taken off "YES!!"

It is the same all the way around. The lid is split and has vents where the oil spurts out and the lid will not stay on.

Same height all the way around. A very nice and heavy pot. Ours still works great and looks like new!

You'll need to open it up and adjust the pots. They are little screws on the inside. If you turn each one a little and watch the image you'll notice it changes it. Tweak them until you get what you need.

Hi! I agree that all items should have a FULL size description right up front. No one should have to search out something as simple as the size of an item. This particular pot is a little over 7" tall and just under 10" wide. It is extremely light weight and made of a foam-like substance. Since it has a water reserve contained within it, be sure to use a moisture measuring stick like Bond 9628 Moisture Meter before watering. I hope this was helpful!

I have not used it in some time - but if I remember correctly the lid fits snug on the pot. Hope this helps.

I purchased a new one-quart Revere Ware copper bottom clad saucepan last year and still have my original one as well. The difference between the two is night and day; The older one is heavier and has a wider ring of copper on the bottom.The whole pan is lighter than the old one and feels less sturdy. I would not want to leave anything in it on warm/lo for very long without being there to watch over it. I did not buy a new lid to go with the new saucepan; the old lid dos fit it.

The 6003 more expensive one is the larger which I recommend. I wanted to buy a 2nd one for my vacation home; bought the 6006 not knowing there were 2 sizes...way too small; returned it for the 6003 which is still a tad smaller than my original which I have had for years. These knew ones aren't as well made, and you have to assemble the legs and handles too boot; They don't make them like they use too; but it's still a versatile pot.

i actually own both. the difference, i believe is in their shape. the cheaper one has a wider circumference and lower height. this, i find, lends itself to cooking vegetables, such as ratatouille, while the other is better for dishes in which you do not want the sauce to evaporate too quickly. the smaller diameter helps in that. i was once trying to cook something in the wider flatter pot and the recipe started with making the sauce. as the pot was wide and a larger portion of it exposed to the heat, the sauce burnt rather than cooked evenly as it would have in the other pot. i enjoy both of the pots, as well as the many others i own, but have learnt through trial and error when to use each pot. i hope tho is helpful.

The answer is not as simple as you might think. As with most pots, the bottom edge is rounded off. If you're talking about the width of the pot before the edge starts to round off, that's approx 11 3/4". But if you go all the way to the outside edge of where it's rounded off -- to the point where you're now at the side of the pot -- that's a hair under 13". To put it another way, if you were to set the bottom of the pot inside something, let's say another pot, that pot would have to be 13" wide for it to fit.

This is not a definitive answer. I have a similar model that is several years old, and the interior finish failed. Could have been my fault in using the wrong utensils, I don't remember now what happened. I only write to say that it is a smart question. We were crazy about this pot while it lasted, for what it's worth.

No mine is the one shown on thee picture. The chili just shows food cooked in it. I Love this pot. Just the right size for two or four people.

I don't know the difference, but I love this pot. We use it for everything. Would make an excellent wedding gift to the couple that is just starting out. It is by far my favorite piece of cookware....

When I ordered this item back in August, it came up Farberware. I think the previous answer from another buyer may be the answer you seek. The only difference for me was that my original pot was made in the USA and this newer one (replacement) is made in China.

The aluminum core definitely goes all the way up the side. You can clearly see the thick, dull aluminum core sandwiched between shiny interior and exterior layers of stainless steel by looking at the flared rim, if you have one in your hands, as I do. Also, the graphic that accompanies this item on the Amazon page, as I write this (23OCT15) clearly shows this feature. It is one of the critical questions I, too, had, prior to purchasing the pot. I am well-pleased with it.By the way, the specifications do not list the weight. It is 6 lbs, 12 oz without the lid, and 8.0 lbs with the lid, which does not have the aluminum core, i.e., the lid is a single thickness of stainless steel.

I just heard back from the store - they told me (in an email) that the manufacturer was closed for the chinese new year! that is why we hadnt heard back from them (the store) since they hadnt heard back from the manufacturer. The manufacturer is shipping a new stockpot out. They told me to hang on to the original until the new one arrives. Who knows how long that will be....I emailed back and asked if it was ok to use the other items...still awaiting a reply to that.

I just ordered this and there is a HUGE gap at the top. I'm confused as to how the other reviews say it closes all the way!

Hi J. You must use another pot beneath this one. The entire bottom of this pot is perforated, as shown in the image, and the perfs go away the way through. You set the steamer on top of (slightly inside of) a pot with a little boiling water, and the steam comes up through the holes. The concentric ridges on the bottom of the steamer allow it to sit on top of pots of several different sizes. This is why it's called a "universal" steamer. There are lots of questions and answers you can read regarding the pot diameters this will work with. No matter what size you use, though, be away that it's not a snug fit. It's stable unless you bump into it firmly.
