A decent pot, but prefer the 8-Cup
I love my Krona 8-Cup Multi Pot, which I use everyday and have sitting on the top of my stove all the time, so I was excited to see the Multipot offered in a larger size.
The design and look is essentially the same as the 8-Cup Multi Pot and lid. The 8-Cup is approx. 5" high and 5 1/2" diameter, the 12-Cup is approx. 6" high and 6 1/2" diameter. Though it functions well enough, I find the design of the Multipot is better suited to the smaller 8-Cup size. It is more difficult to really balance the pot with the one handle while transferring to different locations when the 12-Cup pot is filled to the brim because of the weight (4 cups can make a huge difference when lifting with one hand) and added width. I am constantly in fear that while I grapple with the one handle, the pot is going to tip to either side and spill everything - I would rather use my regular larger pots with two handles (one on each...
Krona 12 cup pot
I bought this pot bec I LOVE the smaller version. But not only is this bigger version unstable and somewhat unwieldly but it fell apart. When I was taking it out of the frig...it was full of chicken soup....the handle came off! The pot fell to the floor splashing everywhere! I spent the whole afternoon....hours....cleaning up the mess...cabinets, frig, floor, me, the cat, etc....you get the picture! I felt lucky that it didn't do any damage to me (or the cat...whom it probably would've killed!), ie, break my foot and break any of the tiles on my floor! I do NOT recommend buying this pot!
If only Al Clad made this shape pot.
Handy size pot, and was great for the first year or so. I have 2, one of each size, and they BOTH warped on the bottom and are unusable now. Pretty expensive for a disposable pot.
