Tramontina Pro-Line Stainless Steel 24-Quart Stock Pot with Lid, Extra Large Soup Pot for Professional Kitchens, NSF-Certified

I had a large dutch over from All-Clad that I loved and used endlessly for about 5 years. It was coated with the typical black non-stick coating which, unfortunately; started to peel off. It needed replaced and this is what I chose. So wish I had gotten this one in the first place. I love this pot. It's much bigger than my gas burner but it heats evenly and is just a great pot. I love it. I use it mostly to make a huge pot of soup which has become a weekly thing to do since I got it. My family has taken to getting a bowl of soup whenever they're hungry. Tremendous reduction in the frozen pizzas and pot pies. This pot assists me in making wonderful soups that are much healthier and I believe saves me some money. If you need a really large pot I highly recommend this one.

I love this pan! Due to it’s wider base, water boils faster than in a narrower taller soup pot of the same volume.. It is a good weight as well. I have an easier time draining water from pasta with this one then with a taller one. . I originally bought it for baked beans, but I have used it for everything but so far. The only thing I don’t like is, I am not a fan of brushed stainless. I wish it came in a polished stainless steel. But it is a trade-off worth making for me.

This is a great stock pot? The heavy bottom distributes heat evenly with no hot spots. I have never had anything burn on the bottom in this pot, even when I forget to stir. My only regret is that zi didn't buy two. I will eventually get another one. It's great for water bath canning as well. Just get a pressure canner rack to put in the bottom to keep the jars off of the bottom of the pot.

UPDATE: I have used this cookware for several months now, and find myself even more satisfied with their performance, ease of maintenance and value. BARKEEPER'S FRIEND is a true must, as some heat bluing may occur, but for those who prefer easy maintenance above all else, these may not be the best choice. The key to keeping these looking as-new is in the regular and complete cleaning and avoiding overheating of them. It takes maybe 5 extra minutes to properly clean 2 pieces of this cookware, but one is rewarded with an effective, efficient, attractive and s-a-f-e cookware set. My set looks almost brand new, despite the (careful) use of both metal and nylon/wooden utensils. I would suggest these even as a lasting and beautiful gift! These are excellent pots for chilli and casseroles, that, despite not being triple ply, manage to heat evenly, clean up fairly easily and look good in the process. I have found no real problems with these pots ( I also bought the smaller version) and they are a must have for cooking for large groups. The base is a solid base that does not deform when heated, and does not present a hazard by spinning about on a glass cooktop. My only major change would be to give the interior a higher polish, but so far, cleanup has been a breeze, occasionally aided with Barkeepers Friend, and that is why these get only 4 stars. I recommend not using any coarse abrasives such as steel wool or nylon scouring pads. I think anyone would be pleased in using this cookware and can expect a long life of the pots - you will not be disappointed.

I did a lot of research before deciding on this dutch oven. I wanted something dishwasher safe, sturdy, budget friendly, large, and hopefully a pot that wouldn't show warp/scorch or other wear and tear with normal use. All the cookware we own are stainless steel from different brands. I assume due to user error they all currently hold those black/burn marks on the bottom. Not this one though. I used washed this in the dishwasher prior to first use and then used it on our gas stove to make a meal a few days ago. I was careful about not using anything higher than medium heat, the food was bubbling at medium since this gets so hot! This dutch oven held the food in the refrigerator for a few days and then went through the dishwasher again. It still looks brand new. I am so ecstatic! This is almost everything I wanted from my dutch oven. The only caveat is I'm not certain it is oven-safe. I looked at the manufacturer information and didn't see that it was or was not (I could have missed it). That would make this truly perfect, but I am very, very happy with it regardless. If there are more in this line other than the current stockpot, I will be sure to purchase in the future.

Love this SS POT, perfect for any food that you cook in high quality’s!

The handles will allow you to carry this pot from the sink to the stovetop with sure grips. The extra (1/4) thick bottom facilitates even heat distribution while preventing burning. The indide diameter at the top is (11 and 7/8 inches). It is (5 and 1/4 inch deep inside), (5 and 1/2 tall outside) The cover is not very impressive but fits easily. However I had another "12 inch" cover shapped like a dome that fits perfectly as well and allows extra space on top for cooking something that is slightly taller than 5&1/2 inches. This pot is the right size because I do not cook frequently, but when I cook , I cook for a few days. Since this cooking pot (dutch oven) is not too heavy, the cleaning is easy. Note: I bought this item at a discount from Amazon. When it arrived I noticed a little brownish discoloration at the bottom. I concluded that was the reason for the discounted price. Then each time I washed and dried it, I wiped the interior bottom with a thin layer of oil, before putting it back in storage. It looks as good today (5/31/2022) as the day its arrived. This dutch oven found a place in my kitchen and delivered stability to my diet, by having the capacity to cook large amounts of food. I no longer feel jealous when looking at comparable pots that cost an extra $100. I paid $40 tax included in July 2021. I got my money worth and am very happy with the purchase.

This arrived today. It was listed as used but "like new". I sure can't see anything "used" about it. The storage box (not the shipping box) looked like it had been opened at one time but I do not believe that the pot has ever been used. No dings, no dents. What can I say? I got a Tramontina pot for less than the price of lesser brands. I would have liked a glass lid but knew when I ordered that it was not glass. So I will give it 5 stars. I can not wait until I do my next batch of beer. My 16 quart stock pot was a bit crowded, particularly when mashing. This 24 quart pot should do fine for my small to medium sized all grain batches. I will revise my review if I find a problem when I actually use this pot. I don't see any likelihood of that happening though. The bottom is triple clad. The handles are secure. The steel sturdy.
