Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 12-Quart Skillet & Stockpot Stainless Steel — Even-Heat, Oven-Safe to 550°F

The Cuisinart MCP66-28N MultiClad Pro 12-quart skillet and stockpot with lid is a heavy-duty, 18/10 stainless-steel cooking set built for large-batch simmering, braising, and one-pot meals.

Designed for home cooks who need commercial-style performance, this 12-quart pot combines a polished stainless-steel exterior, a solid aluminum core for even heat distribution, and an updated cast-stainless steel handle engineered to stay cool and remain securely riveted. Its tapered rims make pouring sauces and stocks cleaner, and the pot is oven- and broiler-safe to 550°F while also being dishwasher-safe for easier cleanup.

How does this pot deliver even heat for large batches?

The MultiClad Pro construction sandwiches a continuous solid aluminum core between layers of 18/10 stainless steel to eliminate hot spots and promote uniform cooking across the base and up the sides. That balanced heat control helps when reducing sauces or simmering stocks for long periods.

• Three-ply construction with a full aluminum core for consistent warmth.
• Thick, flat base ensures stable contact with stovetop burners.
• Large capacity lets you cook whole chickens, big stews, and pasta for a crowd.

Is the handle comfortable and safe for stovetop-to-oven use?

The redesigned handle is cast from stainless steel and riveted to the pot for durable, long-term use while staying cooler under stovetop heat. Because the pot and handle are oven- and broiler-safe to 550°F, you can start dishes on the cooktop and finish them in the oven without switching cookware.

• Cast-stainless-steel handle designed to resist heat transfer.
• Riveted attachment provides strong, wobble-free handling.
• Safe for use in ovens and under broilers up to 550°F.

How does the design reduce mess and simplify cleanup?

The pot features tapered, drip-free rims to make pouring stocks and sauces neater, and the stainless-steel finish resists staining and discoloration. When cooking is done, the entire unit is dishwasher-safe so you can choose handwashing or machine cleaning based on your preference.

• Tapered rims for clean, controlled pouring without drips.
• Polished stainless interior that resists sticking and discoloration.
• Dishwasher-safe for convenient cleanup after heavy use.

What cooking tasks is this 12-quart set best for?

This large-capacity skillet/stockpot is ideal for tasks that require volume and steady heat—think big-batch soups, pasta, stocks, braises, and stews. Its size and heat retention also make it useful for canning, boiling large quantities, or entertaining when you need to feed multiple guests at once.

• Perfect for soups, broths, boiling pasta, or batch cooking for families.
• Good for braising whole cuts of meat or large poultry.
• Suitable for oven finishing, broiling, or reducing sauces directly in the pot.

Who is this for? The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 12-quart skillet and stockpot is aimed at serious home cooks, families who prepare large meals, and anyone who wants professional-style cookware that moves from stovetop to oven. If you often prepare large batches, host gatherings, or need reliable, even heating for long-simmering recipes, this durable stainless-steel pot with a secure handle and drip-free pouring will be a practical addition to your kitchen.
