Is the aluminum core only on the bottom of the pot, or does it run up the sides of the pot in the same way all-clad stockpots do?

I'm not sure if the core goes up the sides or not, but the sides are constructed with Cuisinart's "heat surround" technology. You can read about it at their website. I can tell you that when I use the pot, the sides stay warm for quite some time even after cooking has stopped and the contents of the pot have been emptied out. I have been very happy with this pot.

According to Cuisinart web site the aluminum does go up the sides in the Multiclad Pro line - it does not say if the aluminum goes the full height or not. I have several of the multiclad pro line of cookware and am very pleased with its performance.

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 read that if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot it is induction ready. A magnet stuck very well to the bottom of mine. Hope that helps!

This stock pot lid does have a tiny whole in the lid that provides super ventilation. I just used this pot yesterday to make stew for a crowd. I love this pot.

Yes, it will run out of the bottom and sides. That is one of the good features of the pot as it also lets air in and out along with the water. This is necessary for the roots to develop properly.

I have a ceramic stove top - and use it on it all the time. Yes, bottom of pot is flat.

Not inside the pot or on the lid. Everything that touches food is 100% stainless steel. The exterior cladding on the bottom of the pan could be aluminum, but it's difficult to tell. The pan is really a good pan and well built, with a good quality stainless steel.

It is raised so your cookware cannot hang over the edge. We really haven't had any problems with this and we use large stockpots. If you use a large pot on one of the smaller cook surface you may have to set it off center a little which isn't an issue.

That's exactly the reason I bought it. I bought a NuWave cooktop last year, and the stockpot that came with its cookware said just wasn't large enough to handle a big batch of soup. This pot has an iron core, and it works very well on either a range top or induction top. I've used it a great deal, and enjoyed it.

I really don't know, but I love it, because I cook my pasta ,and potatoes , steam my vegetables , reheat rice etc in it. It cleans up well. Great pot!!!!! I have a lot of all-clad products because their wonderful...................................

This item is NOT tri-ply. The made in China pasta cookers in both sizes are not clad. You would have to get an All-Clad stockpot (made in USA models) and an insert to have a tri-ply outer pot.

do you mean the pot itself or the bottom of the stand? Either way, both are flat. And just as a counter to Anne's comment, I love this pot. I've used it for cheese, meat and chocolate fondues and it has performed very well with all three.

Aluminum core bottom, clad in stainless steel. Not used for induction glass cooktops. See item description. No aluminum touches food.

It should be all steel. But the first one we received had alumin exterior. We returned it to the vender and they teplaced it with a all steel one. There is one problem of the steel lid which is too light in weight and the steam will push it way up and steam and water spill out of the pot all over counter top. I have to put 3 large bowls on top to add weight to keep it in place also cover it with a towel.

Edge of the top of the pot is smooth where the cast iron and enamel meet. I don't have any rust on mine, and as far as I know if you treat it kindly it should last a very long time. My Mom had one in the 80s and it latest forever.

The pot has two bolts on the inside holding the handle to the pan. It is high enough that it does not interfere with any cooking.

The raised side should be up when put in the pot. The outside edge should point down.

It's glazed both sides but not the bottom of the pot. You shall soak it in the water before use this pot on the stove.
