 This is a nice pot Aug 22, 2010
By Alexander J. Graham
"Grahamboat"
Made from 304 stainless steel - 0.8 mm/20 Gauge
The stockpot measures 13-½ by 17-¼ inches tall.
Steam and Boil Basket measures 12-¼ by 12-¼ tall and sits 3 inches off the bottom of the pot.
Use with the basket to steam seafood and vegetables or use the pot alone to cook soups and stews.
It is large enough to steam a gross of clams or 18 chicken lobsters or 36 ears of corn.
It can deep-fry a 24 lb turkey.
Remember to wash off the manufacturing wax before using.

 Stainless Steel Stockpot Jun 14, 2010
By James M. Robertson
"Jim Robertson"
Before purchasing this pot, or any other stockpot for that matter, you need to determine your primary purpose for the pot. Steaming or boiling. The basket sits two inches or so off the bottom of the pot which makes this pot excellent for steaming. If you are mostly going to boil then you should look for a pot where the basket sits closer to the bottom. That gives you more room to boil. This pot is very attractive and cleans up easily. The only drawback is that the handles are too close to the sides and top of the pot. It makes it difficult to carry for people with average to large hands.

 Sturdy enough! Sep 05, 2011
By J. Ginnane
"No Assembly Required"
I'd done a lot of research on steamers for blue crabs before making our purchase. One area of concern was the thickness of the metal; some people had posted that the stainless steel (on various brands) was too thin and the metal wore out or sprung a leak. I'm happy to see this isn't evident on the Bayou Classic series. Their steel gauge is within a mill or two of our regular Cuisinart sets. Everything looks good and we should have this ~9-gallon pot for many years of oventop use. Note that this steel is still "slightly" magnetic, though.
The problem it appears that some steamers have is with an outside fire source with a too-high heat concentration from a propane burner stand. (If you find yourself flipping your arc-welding goggles down to fine-tune the flame, you might want to re-evaluate your cooking technique a tad. :) Some kind of diffuser you put in the way so there isn't a heat jet concentrated on one small spot on the cooker bottom is what we're talking about. You'll still get all the BTUs, just done over a larger area.

 Not Impressed Oct 21, 2010
By Jay
Three of the six welds holding the handle to the lid popped loose the first time I heated this pot up. The gauge is not as thick as I was hoping for and the bottom stained terribly the first time I used this pot. My Martha Stewart stock pot from K-Mart was much better quality than this thing. I was just hoping to have a nice quality larger pot. I won't buy this brand again.

Best Cooker for the Money Jul 29, 2010
By P. Stephens
"beone2"
I bought this cooker for a crawfish boil and it worked beautifully. The steamer basket makes removing the contents a breeze. I will also be using the pot for making home brewed beer.
