But since i bought the pot mainly to have a large stock pot ill keep it because it is a heavy duty quality stainless steel pot with a excellent thick bottom which maintains even heat

But in my first use of the pot i soon saw that the lid does not quite fit the pot which allows steam to escape around the rim of the lid negating the closedopen feature of the knob on the lid

The loose fitting lid is the reason for the three stars and that loose lid really does negate the waterless feature
