VEVOR 18/8 Stainless Steel Stockpot, 42QT Large Cooking Pots, Multipurpose Cookware Sauce Pot with Composite Base, Heavy Duty Commercial Grade Stock Pot, Sanding Treatment, for Large Groups Events

What I like most about this pot is that it is slender and taller rather than shorter and wider like what some other brands make because it fits into my large cupboard storage perfectly. It's strong and has some weight, which tells me that it should last for a very long time.

As a chef cooking with tomatoes always use stainless steel

Bought for my two daughters, so they don't need to keep using mine.

The bottom is thicker than I expected. Should be good for large batches of stuff.

Aside from the "serial number" being hard glued to the inside of the lid (why do companies do this?) and a rough edge around the lip of the pot, it's what I expected for the price. Finish quality is MUCH lower than WinCo, which I have 4 of, but the rivets look strong and it will work great for my needs. The bottom is clad. If you need a well finished smooth interior look elsewhere, but if you're just going to be boiling a lot of liquid this should be great. Still trying to get the adhesive off the lid though.

Needed a large gumbo pot and it fit the bill. Don't use enough to know anything else.

Absolute garbage! This “18/8” “stainless steel” pot began to corrode instantly when I started to boil water in it. Because the pot is 18/8 that means it would be 18% chromium and 8% nickel that instant rust that formed is likely to expose one to high levels of nickel and chromium.I am absolutely disgusted that such a potentially dangerous product would be sold on Amazon.Heed other people’s warnings and the “frequently returned product” label, that I was so foolish as to ignore and never purchase this product or anything from VEVOR!

Bought this for the laminated bottom for decoction brewing. Had another that didn't have a laminated bottom and it was difficult keeping the mash from scalding. This one solved the problem. Just wish I could get a larger one so i don't have to do a double but this one will do. If you have never done a decoction, you should, it makes a huge difference in your conversion as well as the taste, it really brings the malt forward as well as increases the over-all flavor from the increased melanodins.
