excellent extra set of potsAugust 24, 2008 Albeit these may not be a good choice for cream-based soups, these are surprisingly good stock pots. They seem to heat evenly and in their weight class, an excellent value. They really do stack up nicely.
This is a fine, inexpensive set of potsAugust 11, 2008 I was looking for a nice inexpensive stock pot and these were a great price. The metal is very thin so be prepared for a few dings on the largest pot. Mine was slightly dinged through the box but it doesn't effect how well it works. I've only used the smallest one so far and it works just fine! The largest will be fine for steaming crab legs, which are huge and don't fit in any other pot without breaking them apart.
Very thin metalJuly 29, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
The metal on these stock pots is probably the thinnest I've seen on any pots or pans. There were some small dents/dings in them when I got it, and I'm not sure if this can be avoided, because of the thickness of the metal.
Nonetheless, for the money ($15 shipped), it is a pretty good value. I weighed all of the pots+lids together in order to report for this review, and they weigh about 10 pounds total.
If you need large pots but don't plan on using them often and you're not putting them out on display and you don't care whether or not they are high quality, this set is a good bet. Or if you're dying shirts or doing something else with non-food items and you don't want to use the same pots you use for eating, you could get these in order to have some pots dedicated to whatever non-food purpose you have.
Don't get me wrong - it's not like these pots are thin like an aluminum foil disposable roaster pan - they are thicker than that and I have no doubt that when they will do a solid job if you fill them with water or something else like that. They should be able to do anything you'd normally use a pot for.
I'm giving this 2 stars for quality and because some of it had small dents, but it's probably close to 4 or or maybe 5 for value, I guess.
A good dealJuly 20, 2008 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
These pots are pretty thin and you can expect the base to be of the same thickness as the sides. Still, I thought it was a good deal when I paid a little over $21! In a few days the price went down further to about $17. That would have been a better price to pay! They stack well and the lid of the smaller one fits into the next size (except for the largest of course). They could dent easily! They heat up quickly and are great when you need to make cheese or just make stocks and soups for a large gathering! It's also great as a double boiler!
