Cooks Standard Stockpots Stainless Steel, 20 Quart Professional Grade Stock Pot with Lid, Silver

My prior stock pot wouldn't work for my induction stove and I didn't want one that was too large of a diameter on the bottom and did a ton of research and this was such a great deal and quality. It can be used on any stove but really great with induction.

What can you say about a 6 qt pot...other than this is great! I received it at noon and used it at 4pm...great design...heavy duty...love that it's 18/10 stainless...cooks evenly...my husband even commented how no rivets show from the handles inside the pot...so glad I purchased...thinking about getting another one.

This is huge, heavy and an all around solid stockpot. I've used it so far for making fig preserves. Did not stick, scorch or burn, the bottom is SOLID! Very easy to clean up. I'm satisfied 😀

Just the right size. Sturdy, seems to be good quality.

This stock pot is beautiful, well made, and durable. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the lid had 2 dents in it. No response after I contacted the company (via email per their website instructions). So I exchanged it through Amazon and received a replacement within 2 days.

I am a farmer. This means that I also can and freeze items from the garden for the winter. For a while now I have been frustrated when trying to do large batches of vegetables for freezing or canning. None of my pots were made for a large batch. This stock pot was recommended to me as great size and with lots of fantastic features. I trusted the recommendation enough to go forward with this purchase. I am so glad I did and here is why.First the size is huge. I bought the 30-quart size, so I knew it was going to be big enough for anything I was cooking. It was. The best thing about the size was that it is not tall and narrow. It is shorter and wide. The reason that this makes this pot so perfect is that the tall and narrow pots, when sitting under a range hood, creates a vacuum between the pot and the range hood that causes a nasty vibration in the range hood that will destroy a range hood in a few attempts to use both at once. Ask me I know as I had to replace a range hood after it was destroyed by using a tall stockpot under it.Next this pot has a heavy bottom. It is advertised as a 3 mm bottom with an impact aluminum disk imbedded for more even distribution of heat. What that means is that this pot carries the heat from the center cooking area, all the way out to the sides of the pan. EVENLY! My first use of this pan was using it with a bushel of tomatoes, cooking them down to make tomato paste. I have tried this before and have run into the problem of the center of the pan, getting hot and burning the tomatoes while the outside ring does not cook properly. Using this pan, I got no burning in the center. The tomatoes cooked evenly and cleanly. Plus, they cooked down to paste consistency in half the time of other tries.This brings me to talk about the lid of this pot. This lid is shaped so that it holds steam moisture completely. This caused me to have to slightly set the lid offside so that the steam could escape. While this was no problem and was expected, I have never had a stockpot that held the steam this well. It was great!This pot is heavy! (remember I said it was 30-quarts in size) It weighs 12 pounds empty. Filled, it is not something you want to lift off the burner often. Keep this in mind when purchasing this pot, but if this pot is so fantastic, I am sure that the smaller version of this same pot will be too. Just keep in mind the weight when choosing what size to purchase.This stockpot looks good and cleans up just as pretty as it was when I first got it. It is a wonderful addition to a kitchen. I highly recommend it.

This review is for the 30 quart stock pot. I do BIG cooking. I have a pressure canner that holds 29 quart jars. I use my wonderful stock pot for slow cooking in my oven. It fits perfectly in it. I have no negative comments regarding this pot. It really is perfect and a pure joy to use. It is very heavy duty with a thick bottom that spreads heat very nicely. I do NOT have burnt food at the bottom. The handles are VERY securely mounted in such a way that gives easy access for cleaning. The lid is heavy duty and fits the pot perfectly. I have made several 27=28 quart stews in this now. There are no defects observed of any kind. No staining has occurred. Very easy to clean after heavy use. This pot will last my lifetime and then some. The only shame is that I put off buying a great pot like this for so long. I highly recommend this pot without reservations. Great value for the price I paid.

My first cook’s standard pan was a smaller stockpot, I have since bought the chicken fryer, a 3 quart sauce pan and now this 16 qt stockpot. They all have nice heavy bottoms and are easy to keep clean. No more having to replace non stick pans every couple of years. These will most likely last longer than I do.My son has All Clad and doesn’t think his are any better than mine. I highly recommend this cookware.

Muy bonita, bien material.

Buena calidad, buen precio

MUY LINDA RESISTENTE A LAS MANCHAS BUENA CALIDAD

Es muy buena calidad, hasta se se siente pesada, tiene su difusor que hace que caliente uniforme y más rápido. Me gustaría que hubiera de 12 y 16 quartos en este formato de media olla.Aquí es su punto débil que es de 8 quartos. Pero muy recomendable.

My pot arrived in perfect condition. It’s quite heavy but works great. I used mine for the first time last night, I cooked 4 club packs of lean hamburger meat which I pressure canned 14 pints. It was a welcome change to have a pot large enough for all the ingredients and mix it without it landing on the stove. The heat distribution is even and heats up with a low flame. Nothing stuck to the bottom! It was tricky to wash because it doesn’t fit in the sink real well so most of the washing was on the counter. The little discolouration can easily be removed with vinegar and a bit of warm water, then rinse with plain water and wipe. The outside I just polished it with paper towel and vinegar and wala looks like new. I highly recommend this pot to anyone considering it, the quality is excellent, worth every penny!
