Amazon.com Review
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

Product Description
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.

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
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
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
