Anyone Have a pot this size?

[pigcicles]

Among all the neat things I got this year I got this 30 qt pot. I'm not exactly sure what I will be cooking in it yet, but there will be plenty of it.

Just added images. Seems that the forum doesn't auto adjust file size so had to go to photobucket and upload and edit.

Thanks for looking and Yes Brian a LOT of sauce.

I make Chicken and Sausage Gumbo in a big pot about that size. Then freeze it for several meals.

I love gumbo.

Could cook small children and stray pets (all at once!) in that thing! Fill it full of water and they could film Titanic II in it... heh-heh.

Nice score there!

You are asking what you can do iin a pot that big?? You can make alot of chili or use it for a seafood boil with something in the bottom you can almost fry a turkey in it to. So there are many uses for that pot so you will learn to love it to.

I have a couple of pots that size. I got them at an auction when a local restaurant went bankrupt. Yours is a nicer pot than mine, easier to clean. But mine is a bit bigger.

I saute a mirepoix of celery, onion and carrots and garlic in it. Then put in whole turkey with some spices and enough water to cover and bring to a boil, once its boiling back it off to a gentle simmer for about 3-4 hours You get an absolutely awesome turkey stock out of it. Then I peel all the meat off the bird and freeze it for my dogs. You can then make incredible soups and sauces with the stock. Sounds expensive but if you buy a utility bird ( there is a turkey farm near here ) You actually get about 10 - 12 meals out of one bird very cheaply and it is the best soup you ever tasted. The turkey meat by then is almost tasteless but the dogs love it for a treat.

I put a chicken on my showtime rotisserie to roast then pull the meat and use that instead of the tasteless turkey meat to make a chicken/turkey soup with the stock. Or even just some vegetables and the stock with egg noodles is also a good option.
Even my kids clamor for soups made from the resulting stock.

Your absolutely gonna love that pot.

We actually do have 2 pots that dwarf that one for steaming tamales...yummy...but that one should do the trick for 99% of anything you got cookin...nice one.

Good for brewing up apple pie, the drink, or a lot of chili

 

[warthog]

I can see that pot filled with stuffed cabbage.

 

[patcap]

A great big gumbo comes to mind!!!! Just make the roux in a cast iron skillet first!!

 

[pigcicles]

Gumbo sounds great but I think I have decided to go with a pot of brisket chili and maybe throw in some pulled pork to sweeten the pot.
