Thank you for viewing. I used this pot a few times after purchasing it new. I am selling it because it is a bit small for a family of four, and I have replaced it with a larger Geo Product pot. The thick bottom of the pot prevents burning, making it easy to reheat curries, stews, and other dishes. I think it's a sturdy pot with a decent weight, and it should last a long time. *This is not a shallow pot. I am not considering lowering the price, so please understand. It was stored in an environment without smokers or pets. For those who understand used items, thank you.
