Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A heavy-duty yet budget-friendly stockpot option from cookware leader All-Clad, this 20-quart vessel supplies home chefs with the confidence and performance to turn out large batches of delicious food (and with this size, guests can certainly go back for seconds!). The thick 18/10 stainless-steel construction is sturdy and longwearing, and the base is reinforced with a conductive aluminum disk. That means the pot excels in rapid, consistent heating without the perils of lesser-quality materials like hot spots that burn, sticky places that won't clean up, or reactivity that makes grandma's Bolognese recipe taste like metal. Its lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat, and the rolled edge facilitates dripless pouring. Although the pot is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. It also comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. Now gather up the softball team for some chili! --Kara Karll
Product Description
Trust All-Clad's stainless steel stock pots to cook soups, stews, pasta and stocks to mouth-watering perfection. However large or small your gathering, there is a stock pot that's "just right", as Goldilocks would say. Stainless steel outside and inside with a layer of heat conducting aluminum on the bottom yields a pot that heats quickly and evenly, doesn't react with food, and maintains its good looks over a lifetime of service. This is the size that will see you through lobster dinners, chili for church gatherings, and making marinara sauce from a bumper crop of summer tomatoes.

A good stock pot for the money,
By
This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 20-Quart Stockpot (Kitchen)
I purchased the 16-quart version of this stock pot as a gift for my mother, who wanted a large, very heavy stock pot but didn't want to spend several hundred dollars. For the price, this is an excellent, heavy, stock pot. I own a 6 quart All-Clad stainless stock pot as well and have been very pleased with it. Since another reviewer was so negative, I thought I would add my $.02 to the versions I did not purchase, since they are made in the same way as the 16 quart. I will admit that the description is somewhat misleading -- according to the All-Clad representative I emailed and to my observations of the pot, it is not "clad" all the way up the side but has the aluminum core only on the bottom (the same goes for the 20 and 24 quart versions). This is not part of the durable, timeless All-Clad stainless line; this doesn't discount it as a quality product, though. While this does have a "lip" where the clad bottom meets the stainless sides, it is on the outside of the pot, not the inside, so there is no danger of food getting caught or burning, as another reviewer warned. The inside is smooth from the bottom up. Is this the exact same quality as the All-Clad stainless line? No, but at about 1/3 the price of the stainless 12 quart stock pot, it is a great alternative and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. It is an *extremely* heavy stock pot, far superior to other stock pots in this price range.

Great pot for big jobs!,

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 20-Quart Stockpot (Kitchen)
I purchased this pot recently to make a corned beef dinner for 12 people on St. Patrick's Day. Knowing I would need a pretty big pot, I checked the local restaurant supply and found some bad looking stainless steel and cast aluminum pots (and I should mention that I personally can't stand the 'grating' feel you get from scrubbing aluminum) in the $150 to $250 range. At $120, this pot seemed like a better value, so I took a chance and ordered it.Let me tell you, I'm glad I did! I was concerned from the picture that the outside surface was aluminum but, but it is actually a very nice brushed stainless steel. I also own some of the thick and heavy (and expensive) All-Clad stainless line, and while the sides of this big pot are thinner (making it lighter to handle), it is every bit the quality product you would expect. I will be making many more big meals in it for years to come!

This is great for homebrewing,

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 20-Quart Stockpot (Kitchen)
I recently picked up this pot to brew beer and personally found that it's much better than a thin-wall pot. Heats very well and very evenly, and also did not scorch or show "hot spots" on the bottom (un-fermented beer has a high sugar content and has to be boiled for about an hour so scorch and burns are an issue). Also, the pot did not reflect heat down like a thin-wall pot and since it holds heat better it boiled well then "idled" at 180 deg. F to pasteurize very nicely.
