Best Benecasa BC-17670 Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 20-Quart Deals

Customer Ratings:

I ordered this pot for cheese making. A pot with a 20 quart capacity should be sufficient for recipes using up to 4 gallons of milk. All of the recipes I've made thus far use 3 gallons (12 quarts) plus a pint of cream....and that fills the pot to within 2 inches of the top (7.5" of a 9.5" pot). Clearly even another gallon would not fit. By my calculation that makes this pot 16 quarts. It's a decent pot if you need something that will not hold heat around whatever you are making, but it is not 20 quarts.

This item is stainless steel, but paper thin. I can bend the walls of the pot with moderate finger pressure. The lid warped the first time it was used, and to get a good seal I have to put a heavy item on top of it. Within a few uses, spots of corrosion have formed on the inside of the pot, giving off a strong metallic odor and blooming with black rust. I would not purchase this item again, nor would I recommend anyone else do so.

This is a 16-quart stock pot! I don't know why this seems to be a problem, but I actually got this stock pot because a reviewer for a different model said they had this same problem, receiving a 4 gallon instead of a 5 gallon. So don't buy this if you are expecting 20 quarts.

Also, it can be tough to tell, but it seemed like it was actually made of aluminum! No where on the metal did it say whether it was actually stainless. It is EXTREMELY thin, and when I filled it up all the way with water to test for its capacity, I lifted it up into the sink to dump out the water and I felt the bottom bow from the pressure! Extremely shoddy.. I would really recommend to get a different stock pot.
