Tramontina Commercial StockPot 20-qt. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great pot designed for commercial use. It is fairly heavy, which is good for heat distribution. BUT... The problem I have with the pot is that when it is full with water, it is too heavy for me to lift to the sink to drain. This is where the inserts would come in very handy, but this particular pot in this size does not come with one (and neither does the 24-qt).
The price for this pot is very steep here. Sams club has this same exact pot for $49.97 and the bigger 24-qt pot for about $5 more (as of 9/3/08). Walmart and Target also sell them, so shop around.

Norpro KRONA 6 Quart Stainless Steel Steamer Cooker 3 Piece Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pot is extremely well-made and should easily last a lifetime. It works very well as a steamer, but equally well as a stock pot for making soups & stews by simply removing the basket. I have also used it to re-moisturize dried-out breads and rolls. The base is heavy and perfectly flat so it won't "rock" when placed upon glass cooktops. The lid fits very well and it does not "rattle" when steam escapes. It is a terrific value.

20 QT STAINLESS STEEL STOCK POT W/ LID (COMMERCIAL GRADE NSF) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Gorgeous sturdy pot! Exactly what I was looking for and what I got. Nice and roomy for all my cooking stuffs and Lord knows I like that. Its also not heavy, but it's sturdy and not cheap! Lid fits nicely to form a clean seal. I have made many a nice meal in it, including Spicy Sicilian Chicken which requires a full 5lb chicken among many other things and that was no match for my lovely new pot!
Clean up is a so easy, no stains, the pot literally wipes right up! I use my pot on my Ceramic stove top and it really is perfect for it. It fits nicely on the burner. I love that it is stainless steel so as not to mess up my foods tastes or leach any harmful chemicals into my foods!
I feel this is the best bargain for a pot in this category! Its an awesome pot that anyone would be proud to own. Use, then store or display, it looks nice on my ceramic stove top and functions perfectly. Couldn't ask for better.
Do be aware of your dimensions regarding clearance from your stove top to whatever maybe above your stove, your microwave, range hood or kitchen cabinets. We have a microwave above our kitchen stove top and although the clearance is plenty fine, when removing the lid I still banged into the microwave's base of the door a couple times.

(More customer reviews)Great product! Had been looking for a pot with a strainer and am very happy with this one. Big enough for the job and it gets it done!

Winware Stainless Double Boilers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sometimes you are suspect when an item may seem too "affordable" to be of good quality; no need to be a skeptic with this Winware s.s.double boiler. It is heavy with sturdy handles - not flat metal.
I did o.k. without a true double boiler for my cheese making, but got really tired of the constant fear that I'd ruin a batch of cheese or my 'kluged' double boiler would slip off the water pan. This will also be great for canning my hot, hot, hot salsa this summer.
For now, Tomme is on the schedule!
UPDATE: The double boiler's bottom pitted while making ricotta causing BLACK discoloration on the ricotta!. The acid from a couple of grains of the undissolved citric acid etched the double boiler.
My favorite engineer says that the pot is probably made from an inferior grade of stainless steel as any restaurant S.S. would not pit from exposure to acidic foods.
Also, the price on this item has increased by approximately $60 since I purchase item AND posted a review: about 10 days. Hmmmmmmm. Try another source or manufacturer if you need a quality Stainless steel item. Very disappointed. 02/05 Major price drop.

King Kooker 30PKSP 30-Quart Aluminum Stock Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am disappointed with this pot. As soon as I opened it, I discovered that it was dent right at the spigot. The first thing that I did was to fill it with water to see if it leaked. Since it didn't leak I decided to keep it rather than go through the hassle of a return.

All-Clad 3707-I D Stainless Steel Pasta Colander Insert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All-Clad's usual high quality and performance is missed with this highly disappointing colander insert. I have attempted to cook numerous pastas at varying temperatures and been frustrated every time. The water either boils over (regardless of water level in the pot) or just doesn't simmer. Ordinarily I'd blame my incompetence, but attempts by friends and family to better my performance with the pot returned similar results. I thoroughly enjoy cooking with the rest of my All-Clad collection, but have relegated the colander to the basement cupboard and pulled out the old, but reliable Reverware.

Bayou Classic 8000 80-Quart Aluminum Stockpot with Boil Basket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pot was a bit of a disappointment. I guess that the adage "You get what you pay for" is true. I picked this one because it was the cheapest I found and now I know why. It is made with thinner aluminum and is less quality. The pot was distorted out of shape from pressure on the carton during shipping. This was actually easily fixed by just squeezing the pot back into shape. A good quality stockpot of this size would never be that flimsy or easy to bend out of or into shape. I can't wait to fill it up with water and pick it up by the handles. It feels like it is likely to distort just from the weight of the water and pressure of the handles on the flimsy sides. I would recommend paying a little more and getting a thicker, more commercial quality pot.

Circulon Infinite Circulon 7-Quart Covered Locking Straining Stockpot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have two smaller Circulon straining pots, from the "Circulon 2" family. I use them every day, literally, but always have to be mindful of the lids as they do not properly lock. I discovered this the first day, when I dumped my spaghetti into the sink while attempting to strain it. After that, I wore an oven glove to hold the lid on (Circulon recommended not tipping that pot more than 45 degrees to strain, which was ridiculous - that seemed like an afterthought meant to cover their butts. That would've left half the water in the pot, which would have defeated the purpose of having a straining saucepan!).
With this pot, you don't have to do that. It locks the way it's supposed to. The pot feels sturdy enough, though I expected the lid to be "heavier". It doesn't need to be, though. It works beautifully the way it is and is not flimsy in any way.
The pot is a good size for family-sized pasta meals, and is so much easier to use and less awkward than pasta pots that come with the insert. And it's so much better than having a colander sit in the sink and dumping the whole pot into it, which allows the dirty water in the drain to back up into the sink and make contact with the pasta. Yuk.
This pot is also great for cooking quantities of sauce, too. The lid allows the steam to vent without splatter going everywhere.
I use this pot for much more than pasta and sauce, however.
It's great for cooking up a pot of soup in the winter, which is something I do a lot, or a pot of beans. And it's fantastic for making rice pudding on the stovetop because it's non-stick. You can use it for virtually anything. If you don't need venting for a particular dish, lay a piece of foil across the top before setting the lid on top.
I was so impressed with this pot, I bought one for each of my three daughters!

Good Cook Stainless Steel Stock Pots Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this product for $21.99 and I will be returning it. When it arrived it was all dented. The box was not damaged, so it had to have been in that condition when packaged. It is made of very thin material so it is no wonder it dented so easily. You certainly couldn't cook with it without scorching your food. This product belongs in a dollar store.

T-Fal Specialty 12-Quart Nonstick Stock Pot, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this to replace an old Calphalon pot which crashed to our floor and bent out of shape. The old pot was wonderful, but quite heavy and you had to hand wash it. This one retains the nonstick feature (an essential when making split pea soup), yet is much lighter. The glass lid has a vent built into it, making overflows much less likely. Lastly, the whole thing can go into the dishwasher if you want, but is easy to wash by hand, too, especially since it is lighter weight than the old pot. You can maneuver it around.
We still have another T-Fal piece that we bought over 20 years ago, and it's still going strong! That's what led us to buy this one.
The one possible negative I could even think of is that it's very tall, making it a little difficult for us folks of shorter stature to ladle out the soup. It is a 12 quart pot, though, so you have to expect the volume to come from somewhere.
Overall, a great pot! And we do a lot of cooking!!!

Fagor 4-Piece 8-Quart Multipot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The box it comes in says "compatible with induction cooking." The bottom of the pot says it will work on induction cooktops.
But it WILL NOT.
If you take a magnet to the bottom of the pot (the way one checks if cookware is induction-compatible) it DOES NOT STICK to the bottom of the multipot.
Thus, this pot is useless for induction owners.

Not only can you use this pot for conveniently cooking and draining pasta of all shapes and sizes, you can also use it to cook asparagus, corn on the cob, crustaceans of various species, veggies and so on.

And when the meal is over, all the pieces go into the dishwasher for trouble-free clean up.

Winware Stainless Steamer/Pasta Cookers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have 2- 20 quart and 1- 12 quart STAINLESS STEEL Pasta Pots that we purchased in Jan 2011. They work great, reduce work and allow us to reuse the water to boil additional pasta. We used the 20 qt. in at least 8 events during January feeding at least 125 men for each event and found them to be a huge time saver. I had not read the previous reviews prior to buying these, however, I cannot think that somehow the wrong insert was sent. Perhaps they received aluminum or undersized. I do agree that it takes longer to boil water but once boiled it takes less time to cook more pasta. For home use I want to purchase the 8 qt. for smaller gatherings. Winware is part of Wincous.com. They make great stuff. Also Thunder Group (exactly like winware / winco) is the same. Available cheaper from Webstaurant store or Winco from TigerChef.com for much less. For my money the Winco product lines are a great asset to our catering company.

Winware Stainless Steel Stock Pots Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're thinking about stepping up to all-grain brewing or doing 10 gallon batches, this is the pot for you. Very heavy duty. One thing to keep in mind is that this pot might be a bit wider than you're used to, so you may find that your immersion wort chiller doesn't submerge as far in a typical 5 gallon batch as you're used to. This might reduce some of your cooling efficiency, but it only took me about 5 more minutes to get down to my pitching temp.
