I purchased the Paula Deen 12 qt stock pot at Walmart about 4 or 5 months ago. It was a GREAT pot for making large batches of soup and I was very happy with it until this morning. I left it soak in soapy water overnight after I used it yesterday and woke up this morning to find a big flaky spot in the middle of the bottom of the pan. The inside powder coating (not quite nonstick) had begun to peel away. This pot is useless now because any further cooking I do with it will leave pieces flaking off into my food. I have to throw the pot out and buy something of higher quality...unless Paula Deen would like to send me a replacement of something that won't fall apart in another few months. Poor quality! I will not buy another of this brand.
