I purchased the WMF meat pot together with the WMF silencer insert. Before we order some cooking wanted, there was first a test with water only. However, in the first moment -to seemed to smaller water droplet on the edge between pot and hardening everything ok, then came more and more steam side of the pot, so that the handles of the steam use were hot and humid, what I felt as a little unhappy. After a few more minutes not only the round handle of the lid but also the handles of the pot boiling hot ... of insulation was then, however, no trace! Otherwise I use for many years, the pots of Fissler Magic line, which are not only extremely rugged and practical, but also a great (cold lasting) handle system have. Conclusion: pot and use re-wrapped and returned easily at Amazon (great service) - and now looking for a decent damper.
