Norpro 617 Report


Norpro 617 Review by Earthmother (Manhattan, NYC)

Very solid and quite well made. It's very handy and doesn't take up much room. I've used it as a mixing bowl, to boil water and to fill my water filter pitcher/dispenser. Didn't need a pot holder (but I won't guarantee it as I made sure the handle wasn't near the heat and stopped it as soon as it boiled, so be SURE to test it yourself!)

The stainless steel got stained after boiling milk. Really tried to clean it, but it was impossible... therefore not a good purchase choice


Norpro 617 Review by The Shopinator

I originally got this so I could make a big Turkish Coffee every morning, and that's all I did with it for weeks, and it is excellent at that, keeping the boil/foam in, making enough for a big drink and a snap to clean with just a nylon scrubbie and dishsoap in a moment. It heats quickly, looks great after dozens and dozens of uses and works great for the purpose.

HOWEVER, I've also used it to do reductions, melt butter, cheese, reheat gravy, quickly make hot tea, blanch grape tomatoes, and a bunch of other little things that you'd normally use a small or medium saucier to do. The base on this is heavy: it heats evenly... across the flat bottom. Keep the flame within the diameter of the disc... which is good. You won't use as much energy and your water/sauce/gravy, whatever, will boil!

The only warning I would offer is a handling one and a cleaning one. The handle does get hot, because the pot is not very wide, so heat rising up the side heats the extra heavy gauge wire handle. Use a mitt or potholder. Also, NEVER EVER USE STEEL WOOL OR ABRASIVE POWDER on the inside: the reason is that the measurements are lightly etched, not deep etched, on the inside. You could wipe them away in a few cleanings if you're not careful. Soak for ten minutes, use a nylon scrubby if needed for burnt milk or chocolate, and you're good to go. Remember to keep the disc clean from any build up so you don't get hot spots!

Great, useful little pot you'll go to often!
