All-Clad Stainless 20-Quart Stockpot
All-Clad Stainless 20-Quart Stockpot
Trust All-Clad’s stainless steel stock pots to cook soups, stews, pasta and stocks to mouth-watering perfection. However large or small your gathering, there is a stock pot that’s “just right”, as Goldilocks would say. Stainless steel outside and inside with a layer of heat conducting aluminum on the bottom yields a pot that heats quickly and evenly, doesn’t react with food, and maintains its good looks over a lifetime of service. This is the size that will see you through lobster dinners, chili for church gatherings, and making marinara sauce from a bumper crop of summer tomatoes.A heavy-duty yet budget-friendly stockpot option from cookware leader All-Clad, this 20-quart vessel supplies home chefs with the confidence and performance to turn out large batches of delicious food (and with this size, guests can certainly go back for seconds!). The thick 18/10 stainless-steel construction is sturdy and longwearing, and the base is reinforced with a conductive aluminum disk. That means the pot excels in rapid, consistent heating without the perils of lesser-quality materials like hot spots that burn, sticky places that won’t clean up, or reactivity that makes grandma’s Bolognese recipe taste like metal. Its lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won’t be harmed by an oven’s highest heat, and the rolled edge facilitates dripless pouring. Although the pot is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. It also comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. Now gather up the softball team for some chili! –Kara Karll

5 Stars lots of great soup
Used this 20 qt. stock pot for turkey/vegetable/noodle soup after Thanksgiving - two (2!) turkey carcasses plus LOTS of vegetables fit into the pot easily w/ample room to stir.
5 Stars Excellent Value
I own several All-Clad pans. I own the regular stainless and the copper core. I also have a high end stove at home with powerful burners. So I can tell you with some knowledge that this pot has performed excellently. Yes the rim sometimes is not the easiest to clean, but for the money, this is an excellent value and it has not let me down. It’s a bit deep but caramelizing onions is easy, and simmering soup all day in it does not burn or gunk up the bottom. The steaming basket is wonderful and the pasta strainer is something I use all the time. The lid even fits my other All Clad pans. It may not be the same quality as other All Clad products but I can tell you it performs the same.

4 Stars This is great for homebrewing
I recently picked up this pot to brew beer and personally found that it’s much better than a thin-wall pot. Heats very well and very evenly, and also did not scorch or show “hot spots” on the bottom (un-fermented beer has a high sugar content and has to be boiled for about an hour so scorch and burns are an issue). Also, the pot did not reflect heat down like a thin-wall pot and since it holds heat better it boiled well then “idled” at 180 deg. F to pasteurize very nicely.
5 Stars All Clad Stockpot
I love my new pot. It was worth spending a little bit
more money than the cheaper ones.
