3-Ply Stainless Steel Stock Pot

There are some very very nice 12 quart stock parts on Amazon for $69.00. They are constructed using a thinner grade of stainless steel/aluminum with a heavy bottom welded on. All my other pots and pan are 25 years old either made in the United States or France and are traditionally heavy duty stainless steel /aluminum and I decided splurge to match the high-quality of what I already own. This stock pot does not disappoint. It's heavy duty super high-quality and if you want to spend the extra money it is totally worth it. Highly recommend recommended.

Love this pot. Very big and heavy duty. Cooks well, washes well. After washing, I oil it to keep it looking its best. I recommend this product.

This is a high quality, very well made cooking pot. No sharp edges. Inside is well-marked with quantity line (I can’t remember if it’s quarts or some other measurement, but you understand what I mean, I hope). Very shiny, good heft to this pot. The lid sealed very well. I bought this pot so I could boil ten pounds of potatoes for Thanksgiving. Did the job beautifully, was the perfect size.

Very well constructed with easy-to-use handles. Indespensable for large gatherings. Compact height and diameter despite its 12-quart capacity. Cooks evenly and is easy to clean. Cover was a bonus.

I had been eyeing a much more expensive (AllClad) 12-quart stockpot but couldn't bring myself to pay about twice as much as the Viking. I'm glad I ordered the Viking.. it is a beautiful sheen, great size, nice heft, and what really sold me is that the lid fits like a glove. It is certainly more than 'good enough'. One potential drawback that is not clear from the description: according to the box it is designed in the USA but manufactured in China.

When you need quantity and quality must have this for your kitchen. It is a beast and and gets the job done fast.

The Good: Price. This stockpot is a third of the price of the AllClad which is made in the U.S. and comparable across the board. The Bad: If you are anti-China or imports, there's your "bad". The Ugly: See photo. The inside graduated lines to measure volume are off. Makes my pot appear to only be 11.25 Quarts. If you need the interior measure lines for accuracy, this is not the pot for you. It does give an approximation of volume so in that regard it's helpful. I'm hoping over time they will scratch or fade off, or with a little help with a scouring pad I'll force them off due to my OCD tendencies. Summary: I purchased both 12 Qt. stockpots, the Viking & the AllClad (we do a lot of large volume canning etc). They are comparable in quality and function. The AllClad is ever so slightly taller and narrower, but I prefer the Viking shape to work with on the stove as I'm shorter than my husband. I've found that BonAmi is an excellent cleaner to keep both looking like new inside and out. Only complaint is the graduated lines inside the Viking, it's distracting to see the 11Qt. line just below the rim. It is handy though to use the lines to keep track of how much volume has reduced. Overall I am satisfied with the Viking and recommend it as an affordable alternative to the U.S. brand that I am partial to.

Great pot for making a ton of meatballs. The pot is large. Heavy made very well. I recommend these pans.

Excelente calidad, el tamaño que estaba buscando.

I bought this primarily for making soup and cooking stock. No problem fitting in a carcass from a 25lb Turkey. I love the clad construction as I don’t worry about hot spots.

I have had this several months now. Great for large batches of salsa and spaghetti sauce withour scorching.

Love the new pot. Looks great. Very well constructed. Cooks evenly. Should last forever.

One of the best amazing product
