Bought this size and a 20 Qt size at the same time and use the 16 Qt by far much more often. Actually got them for my Holiday Open House, when I usually serve 2-3 different soups. The bottoms of these pans make it easy to serve for this type of event the food won't burn! (Obviously you have to watch the level of heat and stir occasionally) Use the 16 Qt all the time to make marinara sauce, mac and cheese for a large group, and of course soups, too. HIGHLY recommend this product and especially the 16 Qt size unless you have more room between your cooktop and range-top than I do! Whatever size it's a GREAT product great find! If I could have rated it a 20 I would have!

I have been cooking and using stainless cookware for years. I cook almost daily, and needed a large stock pot for making soup and boiling pasta.
The 16 Qt. size is perfect for my needs. It seems well constructed and the lid fits tightly.
With that said, after only using the pot a few times, and for basically just boiling water, the bottom of the inside of the pot started to develop small rust spots. I tried to scrub them out to some success, but they just returned the next time I used it.
I had bought a calphalon stainless wok at the same time, which gets used much more often, that has none of these issues.
I contacted the seller, and they told me after the 30 day time period, they could not take it back. They did tell me however that they would send my information to the manufacturer and I would get a phone call from them. I did not get a call, and nobody ever contacted me about this product. I believe you should have decent customer service if you are going to sell products on Amazon. Most companies I deal with are a pleasure. It is a shame that these guys do not have their act together.
I rarely write a negative review, if ever, but I paid good money on a product that is not as advertised. I have had stainless cookware items that are lasting years without problems. This one did not last a few days without corroding. Unacceptable.

I wanted a stock pot I could make double portions of the Natural Traditions chicken broth in. This one fills the bill. I can place two chickens plus lots of veges in it and still have room to spare. It's sturdy, I love the lid and the handle, and it cleans beautifully.
Honest reviews on New Professional Commercial Grade 16 QT (Quart) Heavy Gauge
I used this on my new induction cooktop and loved how it worked. I made double batches of strawberry jam and it cooked evenly and didn't stick. So glad I bought the 16 qt. instead of the 20 qt. It was sufficiently large and easy to manage.
