New Professional Commercial Grade 60 QT (Quart) Heavy Gauge Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 3-Ply Clad Base, Induction Ready, With Lid Cover NSF Certified Item

Heavy duty pot
First off, this pot is labeled Winco, and is made in China. That said, it is a heavy duty pot. It is short and wide, measuring appx 17 3/4" wide and 14 1/4" deep (interior dimensions). The handles are not spot welded but bolted through the side walls. The lid fits tightly, and actually snaps into place. I purchased this pot for home brewing, and plan to use it for BIAB brewing of mostly 5 ga recipies with a few 10 ga. here and there. The base is extremely thick. I can't imagine it scorching the wort by having hot spots. Along those same lines, I would venture to guess that this pot would reduce the chances of the same thing happening to pots of chili or the like.

This is barely stainless steel. I would not purchase again.
To update, I installed a ball valve and washed out the pot thoroughly, but there is a grayish residue that is suspiciously like an aluminum pot. Again, you get what you pay for. This is not an all stainless steel pot. It's not the end of the world, it'll take more work on my part to maintain, but in terms of what you get versus what is being advertised/portrayed here, I would stay away. Amazon is becoming more and more like Ebay, just letting any old company peddle their crap.

I left my review below to show my first reactions. Overall, I no longer would recommend.

This is a good value kettle. It's nice and wide as opposed to tall. The bottom is nice and thick, which will help in preventing scorching. I bought this for homebrewing and have added a weldless ball valve, it is perfect.

My only reason for not giving this a full 5 stars is this is certainly not all stainless steel. It's very easy to tell the quality of metal you have in a...

good for beer
this pot is cheaper and has a 3 layer and good for boiling wort, for sure it will not caramelize your wort because the heat will be distributed under the pot. I've
search the net for a better and cheaper pot and this is the best that I could find,the only draw back is that the shipping is so expensive.
