Stock Pots--Looking for Quality

[Cast_Iron]

I'm in the market for a giant stock pot. 60-80 qt plus.

The ones I have used in the past always seem too flimsy and don't last but a year or two.

Does anyone make a top notch stock pot anymore? I am willing to pay for something that the company stands behind and offers a great warranty.

Try searching webstaurantstore dot com and filter them to 60 or 80 quarts. They seem to have regular and heavy duty aluminum and stainless steel ones. Sorry I'm not allowed to post the actual link here.

60q/15G is easy. SS keg and cut top off. Google keggle. Built like a tank.

That's exactly what I use for a crab and Dad cooker, it's over 40 yrs old and shows little too no wear.

They also work for keeping large quantity of meat warm for large cooks, Chicken and tri tip. used then at Brandings for years. got to have a lid though. I have 5-6 kegs at home I got free and been meaning to convert.

Keep in mind that kegs unless you buy them new are the property of the brewery.

Thunder Group. Commercial stainless with a 3 ply clad bottom or all aluminum. Stainless is available in sizes up to 100 quart and come with lids. Aluminum are available up to 100 quart, too, but don't seem to come with lids. Katom.com has them as well as many other brands.

I think you could find what you are looking for at a restaurant supply store, either online or in person.

gat, Another option is to look for old military mess stock pots. They are a heavy gauge stainless and were built to take lots of abuse and never wear out.

OP, what do you plan on cooking in the pot? If you want to cook anything acidic you want and need Stainless. Aluminum will visually etch and also leach into your food.

Good point. I may do large batches of tomatoes at some point. I will have to look into stainless pots. Thanks for the input!
