If you have this please tell me the pro's and con's.  I am considering buying it.  Thanks.

 

Have you seared in it?  Is it ok on a gas stove and how does it do in the oven?  Does it scratch easily?   TIA

@Imaoldhippie

 

Pro:  It is pretty

 

Con:  Enamel on steel chips very easily.

It is easy to burn up the bottom of the pot on high heat

It is thin and things you are cooking stick and burn easily to the bottom.

It is something you need to be careful with and not bump and bang around.

I have monster commercial and home use  size stock pots that are 100% stainless steel.  Some are 30 years  old and still look like new.

 

I use them often too.  Mine are Revere Ware. They were/are a wonderful investment.
