I need to buy a larger stock pot.
We have a Rival Ware 8 quart which we love, but need something a bit bigger a few times per year.
Last night I did a shrimp boil for 4 and it was "really close" to overfilling my pot. No "headroom" to work with at all :redface:
I am focused on something about 16 quart which will meet all our needs.
Stove top cooking only--no cooking turkeys or any of that stuff.
Budget is $30 since that is all it is worth to us because of our limited use.
Trying to stay away from aluminum because I do some stuff with tomatoes and other acids.
I know SAM'S Club has aluminum ones at a really good price.
Am I wrong there ???
Have found the following as examples of what I "think" I want:
http://www.amazon.com/Excelsteel-Qu...TF8&coliid=I1QAB9QK4644GY&colid=10NXM7GLJ2YB7
http://www.amazon.com/Prime-Pacific...TF8&coliid=I1J530NL0AWTEW&colid=10NXM7GLJ2YB7
And
http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Heavy-S...UTF8&coliid=ILDM0EEIZCQ0T&colid=10NXM7GLJ2YB7
The "reviews" around the Net are confusing, at best.
Any guidance from those who know a whole lot more than me??
Thanks,
TIM
