Jim the 40 inch pot is straight walled from the top to the bottom it does taper at the bottom about 1 inch to continue with the very bottom of pot. The pictures displayed make the pots look tapered but they are straight. I have the 60, 40 and 15 qt pot and am very happy with them

Very sadly, I just realized that the initial post was in 2008, the one reply was in 2009, it's now 2012 and still neither Amazon nor Cuisinart have come forward with better information! I just bought the 8 quart Multiclad and can firmly say that the diameter is about 10" and the height/depth is 8". It's a pretty flat pot - like a dutch oven. It was too small for my needs, so I'll be trying out the 12 quart.

there are three 2 1/2 quart pots. This is one of my all time best appliances every. The temperature cooks evenly. It sits well on the counter top. The only thing it does not have is a timer for cooking time with a shut-off. I would not let that deter you from purchasing. I recommend it to all of my friends. I have 3 other very large crock pots as well. Got this one 6 months ago and it gets used all of the time. clean up is very easy.

The pot is aluminum with a ceramic coating on the inside. I am however, getting some shipping of the ceramic coating; so I'm not too pleased with the product. Jim

I have a 6qt Alclad stock pot with handles 14" sitting on bottom shelf, the opening width of the bottom shelf is 12 1/2 " so you would probably have to place it thru sideways and then place on stand.

I'm not with the company, but I am a fan of their products!I have a base and 2 of the 4qt stock pots. I think the base fits both their 4qt and the 2.3qt stock pots (I do not have the 2.3qt - but hope to rectify that soon!). I clicked on the link from your question and it looks like it is the link to the base+4qt. You can also go to their website to order 360cookware.com. I've always had good customer service from them and their product is the best I've ever used - the slow cooker is awesome, but make sure you use low temps - it is really amazing how 360 cookware can cook on lower temps. Just this week we used it to cook chicken with portobello and it was fantastic! I hope this helps!

I agree with Richard A. Harden's comment. This is a great stainless steel pot and I use it for canning and big batches of soup.

im not sure of the grade, I can say it is higher than 308 stainless. its thickness is .020 or the same as 6 sheets of paper. , but is extremely resistant to bending. i have boiled water in mine over coals ( not open flame) many times. the bottom warped slightly , but no more than any pot of similar material and not enough to hinder the lid closing properly. i use mine as a wilderness kit and have been very pleased with it. slightly heavier than an aluminum but lasts much longer. hope this helped. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I have a 33 quart stockpot and I have had it filled up with oil and a turkey with no problems. It appears to be very sturdy and I haven't noticed any stress issues, i.e. I don't see it starting to bend or warp. The top is plenty big too: unless your pot is super-wide I wouldn't expect any problems.

Hi Lory, There is a new model of this same pot that is $18 less and free shipping and it has the measurements listed. Please check it out at http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP66-24-MultiClad-Stainless-Stockpot/dp/B0009W38VW/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t Measurements for the 8 quart: Product Dimensions: 13 x 10.4 x 7.7 inches ; 7 pounds Shipping Weight: 7 pounds You will enjoy your Cuisinart MultiClad Professional pot. I do, however, find that my old Magnalite Professional stainless steel cookware from twenty years ago is easier to clean. But I consider both brands equally good at cooking our food.

I am sorry but I am at work and don't recall, however, I would not purchase this pot. I had to return two, they replaced them due to pitting on the inside bottom of the pots and the replacement pitted too so I returned for a refund. Hope this helps.

I purchased on about a year ago that is excellent . I use it with several different size pots. It was mfg by Calphalon. I do not recall more info. Its bottom is small then it steps up in size in stages.

I'll go with what the other user posted. to me its big enough pot to do 8 quarts of whatever I am cooking. Its a beautiful pot and very sturdy, after all its a Commercial grade and it cleans up awesome. Works well on my PIC

Hello When we purchase the stockpot it did not have interior measurement markings? If you don't mind, we'd like to know why? Thank you.

Interesting, Like Glenn, I have two that I use to brew beer with, and I love them. These stock pots are HEAVY DUTY. When they stated it's "Professional Duty" they meant it. I use them outside on turkey fryer burners and they're huge. This is not something most people would stick on their stove top. Look closely at the dimensions, it's close to 20 inches tall and 20 inches in diameter. I would assume you're preparing multiple chickens at once? I bet you could fit two turkeys in there without much effort. If it fits your space, it's an incredible stock pot!

Let me update my answer. The pot I purchased and reviewed is 10 quarts. It's great for making stock/broth, boiling ears of corn, boiling pasta, etc... It's a great size and I use it frequently. You can choose your size, however.

Depth is 5 3/4" to lid seating lip. a depth of 5 1/2" is max I would use to cook (heat will raise the liquid). Pot fits loosely inside, I think this allows for expansion and contraction of the aluminum cooker. It does not have a rubber gasket and I do not think one would be desired. If the lid had a gasket there would be no way for the steam to escape, the steam has to have a way to escape or there would be a potential for the lid to blow off from the steam pressure. I have had numerous crock pots and this one works great. I used it last night (2/5/15) to cook a roast, delicious. Hope this helps. Bill
