You get what you pay for,
By Richard E. (Corpus Christi, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bayou Classic 8000 80-Quart Aluminum Stockpot with Boil Basket (Lawn & Patio)
This pot was a bit of a disappointment. I guess that the adage "You get what you pay for" is true. I picked this one because it was the cheapest I found and now I know why. It is made with thinner aluminum and is less quality. The pot was distorted out of shape from pressure on the carton during shipping. This was actually easily fixed by just squeezing the pot back into shape. A good quality stockpot of this size would never be that flimsy or easy to bend out of or into shape. I can't wait to fill it up with water and pick it up by the handles. It feels like it is likely to distort just from the weight of the water and pressure of the handles on the flimsy sides. I would recommend paying a little more and getting a thicker, more commercial quality pot.

Excellent pot for crawfish boils!,
By Trey3801 "Trey" (Nashville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bayou Classic 1000 100-Qt. Aluminum Stockpot with Boil Basket (Lawn & Patio)
This is an excellent pot for crawfish or other seafood boils! The aluminum is thick and sturdy, and the handles are heavy duty. I am not worried at all about it handling a full load of water and seafood! I'm trying it out in a few weeks when it gets warmer, but I can tell already that it will get the job done (I've done quite a few crawfish boils before and have seen inferior pots).
I would prefer it if the boil basket were slightly higher, but you don't really want to overfill the pot anyway, so it's a good precaution. In terms of what it will hold, it should cook up to 60 lbs of seafood, along with corn, potatoes, and sausage, in one batch!

Is there ever such a thing as too large?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bayou Classic 8000 80-Quart Aluminum Stockpot with Boil Basket (Lawn & Patio)
This is an impressively large and sturdy pot that I'm sure will last for years of occasional use. The handles seem sturdy as does the basket and its lifting handle. The lid is a bit thin and if dropped could get warped easly, but it is aluminum so easy to bend back. I only have one complaint; I would have liked the basket to be a little shorter, that way I could put something in the bottom of the pot to leave a space to use it as a steamer. As it is, if I put even a 1" spacer in the bottom, then the lid doesn't sit tight.
I don't agree with the reviewer that said it was flimsy. I think that is just the feel of aluminum compared to the normal steel pots we are all used to. Even the higher end aluminum pots that cost twice as much still have the "flimsy feel". But I will say this isn't a professional grade pot, it you plan on using it every day or every weekend you may want to invest in something better. For me, I'll use it 3-4 times a year, and I have no doubt it will last me for years. 2115|R14195QIIKXDRO;2115|R3NB7B5CVXRFWH;2115|RFSYAJQCW51GC;
