Product Description

This large pot is sized properly for menudos. The technology for apply porcelain creates a durable, chip resistant product that lasts most families a lifetime. The glass like surface is inert and does not react with or alter the taste of food and even the most stubborn foods clean up easily with warm soapy water. 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. 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. 19 Qt capacity.

A good pot for those times you need something a bit bigger. I uses mine for home brewing and it is great for that. Nice Lightweight and economical replacement for a stainless steel pot I ruined. I do not see it lasting forever, but how often do you need something as big as this? If your need is occasional, save some money, this pot will do the job just fine.
