I was in the market for a 16 quart stock pot for the purpose of boiling corn and steaming crab legs and other large items. This is a great set you get two very large pans for the price you would normally pay for one.
The bottoms are reinforced, but barely. For the purpose i use these this is not a problem for me.

First, I should note that the service is excellent. Unfortunately, the first set of pot we received was leaking and the replacement set was even worse. They all leak at the handle where it is riveted to the pot. I would not recommend this product. However, I should again re-emphasize that the service was excellent.

I'm very disappointed; when I opened my package I found the stock pots and lids dirty. I intended to wash them before use, but to have to touch them and take them out of the packaging like this was unacceptable.
-There was some kind of dirt stuck on the inside bottom of one stockpot.
-The lids were scuffed, dusty, and had greasy hand print looking marks. The outsides and rims of the stockpots resembled this as well.

The biggest concern of mine is on one of the lids around the steam hole, the glass has chipped and the chipped piece is just stuck there between the glass and metal of the steam hole. Which I'm sure will come loose as I'm USING the stockpot and contaminate whatever might be in it at the time.
The other lid has many chips around the edge, luckily none of those chips have the actual chipped piece of glass stuck there like the other lid does.
These were packaged HORRIBLY. They were wrapped in a thin plastic bag. Nothing more.

EDIT: I just used the smaller stock pot today, and would like to add that it held up nicely. I used it without the chipped lid. The construction on the stockpot during cooking seems average. I think the price was good for what I got. You really can't beat two stockpots with lids (although chipped) for around $30.

I read many reviews good and bad on this product. All I have to say is this product is PERFECT for the price.... I used it to can and did not fill past handles so i do not know if the reports of them leaking are true. however the pot is big enough i never found the NEED to fill it that high. Could not be happier with this product and it was CHEAP .... which makes it that much better.

These pots cook well for the money. The handles did not get hot and the glass lids gave them a nice look. I used them at Thanksgiving to prepare dinner for 30 people. I was quite impressed, since they were inexpensive. Good investment for someone who cooks big meals just for the holidays.

USELESS PRODUCT AS IT IS SO THIN YOU CAN NOT COOK STOCK IN IT WITHOUT BURNING

These are pretty cheap but you get what you pay for. Burning may be an issue for you extract home brewers. The large one holds 5 gallons filled to the brim so its not as large as it says it is.

These (2) stock pots are perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Amazon!!

I was most pleased with the quality of the product that I recieved. At first I may have been a bit skeptical because of the price was so low, but when I opened the box I was completely satisfied.

Thank You

This article is in a position to use, is not a new pot that is 12 dents in the bottom of the pot 16 and has dents on the sides.
