Non Stick! Rice comes out perfectly each time!!!
I absolutely love my IMUSA pot! It has become a staple in my kitchen, especially when I’m making traditional dishes like arroz con gandules. This pot is the perfect size for cooking large batches of rice, whether it’s for a family meal, a special occasion, or just to have leftovers ready for the week. What really stands out is how evenly it cooks the rice. I’ve used many pots over the years, but with the IMUSA pot, the rice cooks perfectly every time—fluffy, well-cooked, and never mushy. The surface is fantastic—nothing sticks to the bottom, even with thicker rice dishes or if I let it sit on low for a while. It makes cleanup so much easier, which is a huge bonus after cooking a big meal. The lid fits snugly, which helps trap the steam and flavor inside. I’ve noticed a real difference in how aromatic and rich my rice dishes come out compared to when I use other pots. The pot heats up quickly and holds the heat well, which helps with energy efficiency and consistency. It’s also lightweight but still feels durable, and the handles make it easy to move around, even when it’s full. Overall, this IMUSA pot has exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re making Puerto Rican arroz con gandules, Spanish rice, or just plain white rice, this pot delivers great results every time. Highly recommended for anyone who takes pride in their cooking and wants a reliable, quality pot in their kitchen!

EXCELLENT value, handles get hot but use silicone ‘pot holders’
I have a circulon dutch oven that I got about 3 years ago and it became my favorite pot because of it’s size and performance - can literally cook almost anything in it. Tried to find it online to order a second one for my vacation condo but no such luck, so I went looking for something similar. For my purposes there were 3 features that were requirements: 1) size - wanted 3-3.5 quart size… anything smaller would be too small and anything larger would be too cumbersome, especially given the circumstances at my vacation condo (tiny kitchen); 2) it had to be nonstick; and 3) I wanted the sloped sides (i make a lot of stir fries). I stumbled upon this one and was shocked at the price (was under $15 at the time I ordered it). Upon receiving it it was ever so slightly bent - not enough to actually ‘see’, but enough so that the lid didn’t fit tightly. Customer service was great and replaced it and the replacement is perfection. The skillet is SO light, which I love. The nonstick aspect is excellent… like REALLY excellent. And the shape is exactly what I was looking for. The only complaint I have about the pot is that the handles get really hot (which I was aware of from reading all the reviews, so it was not a surprise to me). From a design standpoint, they really need to upgrade this excellent pot with silicone covered handles. I ordered some silicone pot holder thingies (designed for the type of handles this pot has) for about $6, and the combo works to perfection (plus I can use them on a cast iron dutch oven I have). In a nutshell, the pot/skillet is an incredible value, and performs exceptionally well, plus it is quite lightweight. Be aware of the handles getting hot and as long as you are willing/able to work around that then this is an excellent product!

Handles get hot
Great size for hot pot for a few people. Well made. Easy to clean. Only problem is that the handles are raw metal. They get hot. The edges are sharp. After washing, they're dull and black residue on them. The handles should be covered with another material.

Inexpensive pot that gets the job done
I consider myself a fairly decent cook, and I am all-clad girl all the way. But - I needed a large, light weight, low profile pot for my RV . But the truth is, this pot has yet to leave my home ! I love this inexpensive pot! Nothing sticks, my sore wrist loves the light weight and is just super easy to clean … going to have to purchase a second one for my RV. I gave this pot 5 stars because of the price and it gets the job done.

Handles are metal
The handles are metal and get really hot when you are cooking so you have to use a pot holder to hold the pan so you can stir it so it is hard to cook something’s in this pan because you have to hold it with a pot holder and you can’t change the handles because they are riveted onto the pan but the pan is really nice and your food doesn’t stick to it

Very lightweight pot. The cover was dented when received, so I contacted the seller and asked Amazon to return it.
