Dimensions Wrong (Great pot!) October 8, 2008
How can a stock pot have three dimensions? (Other sites list this as 11.5" diameter by 10" tall.) I have this pot as part of their old 16 quart multipot. For most things, it works as well as my Master Chef 20 qt stockpot (just not as large). The bottom is flat and distributes heat evenly. The sides are thick enough to hold a lot of the heat. Good pot for the money.
Terrific Stockpot October 5, 2008
Previously, we have used anodized Calphalon pans. Unfortunately, they don't do well with spaghetti sause and other acidic foods. You end up with uncoated heavy aluminum pans that foods sticks to.
Bought this based on other reviews. It really is terrific. No more burnt spaghetti sauce, no more Calphalon pans losing their anodizing because of reaction to acidy foods. Cleans up great. Any tough areas clean with a little Bartenders Friend.
I like to make large batches of spaghetti sauce, then separate it into smaller protions, freeze them in FoodSaver bags and have it ready in a pinch. My wife likes to make chicken soup in large batches. Stores the extra in glass jars in the fridge. We end up eating large amounts of chicken soup in a very short time.
If you need a pot of this size, it is a great deal. If it's your first purchase of this type of pan, you'll probably end up buying other sizes after seeing how well it performs.
I will be purchasing other All-Clad or similar pans in the future because of how thrilled I am with this pot.
 A Better Generic Stockpot Under the All-Clad Name October 2, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is not a multi-ply construction pot, as is most of the All-Clad line (including their smaller stockpots). Although such pots are available in the market, they are really a specialty item and are super-expensive for good quality - if you think copper is expensive, you should price out a top-end 30-quart, stainless, multiple-ply stockpot!
What you get with the larger All-Clad stockpots is a sheet metal main body and a bonded bottom. That would make it a generic SS stockpot, except that you also get All-Clad's typical handles and lid, both of which are very good. The real quality pickup over restaurant-supply generics that never seems to get mentioned, however, is that the finished surface of the All-Clad pots - the polish - is much better, which makes them harder to scorch, and easier to clean if you do scorch one.
In response to another viewer who termed the metal "thin", these stockpots use heavier-gauge steel than most generics, and are also made of a high-quality stainless alloy.
For the improved quality of the All-Clad stockpot, you pay a slight premium over the equivalent of the restaurant supply generics. The All-Clad pots are very reasonably priced.
The downside is that these pots can't be used with induction surfaces. Before anyone gets too excited about that, be aware that induction surfaces aren't designed to handle the weight of large stockpots when loaded, and you don't want to destroy your very expensive induction stove! Still, there are times when a stockpot is handy even with a light load, e.g., for browning where the high sides reduce splatter.
For a close cousin of the All-Clad stockpot that is induction-capable, see Winware Stainless Steel 40 Quart Stock Pot with Cover.

All-Clad 16-Qt Stock Pot November 15, 2007

I bought this stock pot for a professional chef.
He was and is very happy with the pot. The heavy bottom and lower walls allow for even heat distribution and avoids 'hot spots'.
My purchase was an excellent deal. A very good quality piece of cookware for a realistic price.
I doubt that anyone would be disappointed with this stock pot.
