Looks like Amazon got a batch of dented pots. My first pot was dented, but Amazon replaced it without hassle. The replacement is fine. I purchased the pot for my mom because it is lighter than stainless for such a large capacity. I also purchased the pot b/c it’s made in the U.S. As far as durability, only time will tell.
This 7 -1/4 Qt blancher is perfect for preparing all your fruits and vegetables for cold pack canning or freezing. The high efficiency, quick boiling performance combined with the modest cost makes this pot ideal for canning. Constructed of porcelain on low carbon steel. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.
