Bob, you certainly make a valid point, but I have other options for those
situations, so I don't really need to be concerned about the height/width
issues of the stockpot. I have 6, 8, and 12 quart Le Creuset "ovens" that
serve well for dishes like you mention. The old SS set I'm replacing has a
tall stockpot, so this new one would effectually replace it.
I do thank you for pointing that out, however.
