Product Description

A generous 34 quart size is great for seafood boils, and serving large groups. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. This makes an ideal material for large pots as the glass-like surface is inert and does not interact with or alter the taste of food. The steel core is an excellent heat conductor, requiring less time and energy. No PFOA's or any other chemicals are used that may affect food taste, color or healthfulness. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.

looks like a great pot, but i'll never get to try it. says on the box that it cannot be used on a glasstop / ceramic stove. Amazon fails to mention that in the description, so here i am returning a huge pot!

We needed a new canning pot; but the stainless steel ones were so far beyond our budget and canning time was fast approaching. This Granite Ware pot appears well made and worked as expected. I'm not sure what more there is to say. Good price, works well...:)

This pot is huge and great for cooking lobsters. I cooked 4 large lobsters in the pot and it was great. Pot can be used for canning if anyone still cans things. Would be great for a large gumbo to be cooked in.
