Product Description

The large capacity pot is designed to accommodate large gatherings and produce outstanding results. The faucet helps drain off steamy liquids without getting burned. 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 quart capacity

This may be a great pot when it's in good shape, but your chances of getting an undented one are close to zero. the first pot I got had a dented lid, and it was clearly damaged in transit. The box they shipped it in was very thin, and they did not double-box it. The replacement (which arrived very quickly - thank you Amazon) WAS double-boxed, and the inner box was not damaged at all (the outer was a mess, though)but when I opened it, I saw a huge dent, so severe that quite a bit of enamel was chipped off both inside and outside of the bottom pot. (see photo)So even though I still want this pot and Amazon's price is good, I'll pay more and buy it locally, where I can at least see what I'm getting. Going back and forth to UPS is a very annoying waste of time. Too bad both Granite Ware and Amazon don't understand that this product is delicate and must be handled carefully.

The Graniteware Clam and lobster steamer I ordered was to replace one that's been in my family for about 55 years and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It arrived in perfect condition when they said it would (how often does that happen?) Anyway, we've already used it twice and I'm looking forward to enjoying this one for the next 55 years or so!
