DUROMATIC® INOX Modello con manico laterale 5.0 L · Ø 22 cm

The side handle is rock solid and stays cool even when the pot’s been on high heat for a while—that alone sold me. Cleanup is a breeze since the stainless finish wipes down without any scrubbing, and the 5-liter size handles a big stew without crowding.

The stainless steel body heats up evenly across the base, and the lid seals tight enough that I barely lose any steam while simmering. At 22 cm across, it fits nicely on my stovetop without feeling bulky, and cleanup is a quick wipe thanks to the polished finish.

The 5-liter capacity works well for family meals, but the lid doesn’t seal as tightly as I expected, so it lets out some steam. It’s sturdy and heats evenly on the stove, though cleaning the sides takes a bit more effort than my old pot. Overall, it’s fine for the price, but not the standout I hoped
