Made In 8-Quart Clad Stainless Stockpot vs KitchenAid 5-Ply Clad 8-Quart Stockpot

Both are 8-quart, 5-ply clad stainless stockpots, so the choice comes down to details. The Made In is lighter, oven-safe to 800°F and made in Italy, with a large, strong owner record behind its 4.9 rating. The KitchenAid adds etched measuring marks, sealed rims and dishwasher-safe cleaning, and it is oven-safe to 500°F. Buy the Made In for high-heat oven braising and a lighter lift; buy the KitchenAid if you want measuring marks and to put the pot in the dishwasher.

• Choose the Made In 8-Quart Clad Stainless Steel Stockpot if you want a lighter pot, a very high oven limit and a long track record of owner satisfaction.
• Choose the KitchenAid Stainless Steel 5-Ply Clad 8-Quart Stockpot if you want etched measuring marks and a pot you can put in the dishwasher.
