Needed: Bigass Stock Pot

[sansho]

i have a 16L (15.2qt) stock pot, and i want to upgrade to 20L+

i was thinking of something like this,

but i guess i could be talked into something fancier. however, i'm not sure it's really necessary.

needs to work on induction
i think i prefer glass lids for this. idk

any recommendations? thanks, guys!

I have this one and like it a lot: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/vo...stainless-steel-sauce-stock-pot/92277523.html

Fully clad, thick aluminum layer, solid riveted handles. Anything bigger and you’re going to likely need a dedicated outdoor burner or commercial range.

Tramontina or Winco for the cheap win. I assume both are fine on induction?

depending where you live, check out your Smart & Final grocery pot selection. They have industry type pots that can go big. Many pro-kitchen pots are just plain aluminum which won't work on induction, but they also have some cheap stainless-aluminum-stainless clad ones.
Also check out your nearby restaurant supply store. you can handle all you want and buy a lid or not. if you already have a 12" (or 14") saute pan with a lid, you can usually just reuse that lid and not buy another. If you want to be chef-y, you skip the lid and make a cartouche

Tramontina

that's what i have now. it's served me well. just need a bigger one.

mine is embarrassing.

its from Korea. the bottom disc doenst extend to the full diameter of the bottom, so the inside corner radiuses get extra hot, and when liquid splashes up the sides (when I stir), the liquid sizzles.

but it is huge. my FIL was postal carrier and a Korean family gave it to him, and he gave it to me. don't buy this one. haha..

it is my 100% dungie Crab steamer, so it works fine. I like this thread, and I am interested to see the other options. but at least mine was free.
