Purchased this quite some time ago and its going strong, Nice size and good quality, Use mine lots of for stock and also making Mash for wine, Thank u

Reading other reviews, I had very low expectations of this pan, but for the money decided it was worth a try. I was very pleasantly surprised at just how good the pan is. Yes, the metal is reasonably thin, so if you're expecting the quality of a pan costing 6-7 times more than this, then you will be disappointed. However, I was able to cook up a batch of curry for 25 people with no issues and no burning or scorching on the bottom of the pan and this was all on a powerful, outside catering style burner (i.e. very large burner - heat kept to medium or lower, however!). I was even pleasantly surprised that I had some limited success with this on an induction hob (but I think you'd need a thicker bottomed vessel for more success - so as per description, consider this not suitable for an induction hob). I wasn't sure if a 15L pot would be big enough for my needs, so to put this into perspective, I was able to cook approx 30 generous portions of curry and the total contents came to approx half way up the pan (it is 25.5 cm's high and 29cm's wide). I think, I would therefore cook for 40-50 people without issue (although the pan might start getting quite heavy at this point!) Ultimately, I wanted to economically mass cater at home, for friends and this pan came through with flying colours. I respected the pan by not exposing it to a very high heat and I was able to cook a thick sauced curry (Tikka Masala) from beginning to end, reasonably quickly, and by stirring regularly, I had no burning on the bottom and consequently it was very easy to wash up. (I've provided photo's of the inside and bottom of the pan, after 2-3 hours of cooking, on a medium heat on a very powerful catering burner, after it had been quickly and easily washed up.)

I use it for stock, soup and deep-frying. For price, 10/10. It's thin (its super affordable, lightweight) so hasn't the gradual heat up and retention thick base pans have, but it does give it some potential in the stir fry realm of things. Fill this up instead of your sink and you can wash bits in it, suave. Other than that it's a fantastic product, wonderfully useful, of great quality, and best of all a blooming good price.

Good value

Can burn food at the moment.. keep an eye on it..

This is a great stock pot. I already have a 15 ltr stock pot, but I needed a larger one for my chicken stock. To explain further, I tend to keep in the freezer the remains of our sunday roasts, and when I have a few carcasses ready, I make a stock by adding some vegetables and herbs to these leftover chicken. This pot is ideal for this. I could easily fit in 4 chicken carcasses and add the vegetables and herbs. As the pot is really light, I could still move it on the stove after I filled it in, which is much safer than with a heavier pot containing 20 litres of boiling stock! Before I cooked the stock, I had to press the frozen chickens down in it to make some space for the liquid and vegetables, and the pot remained absolutely solid and did not get damaged, despite the concerns raised by other customers in earlier posts. It is definiteley strong enough for the intended purpose. I cooked the stock for four hours, and due to my legendary clumsiness, I let some of the liquid leak out from the top and stick to the sides of the pot during the cooking. Still, it was very easy to clean it up afterwards, with just a bit of washing up liquid, a brush and a soft sponge. The pot came out like new. I highly recommend it!

this pot is great if all you want to do is put something cold inside. I washed mine - all fine, dried it, all fine, put it on the hob, turned the heat to medium, added some oil and garlic, and BANG! the base of the pot buckled up. It did not go down when cooled and washed and dried, it is now forever a convex pot. what this means for cooking is that all liquids now run to the edges, the middle of the pot never touches the heat anymore. Such a shame it is so poorly made. the whole pot is very thing, so lovely and lightweight, but the quality of the metal or the construction of the metal (pouring / tempering / chemical mix) or the fact it is so thin, has left it wholly unusable as a stock pot, which is what it is sold as. would have returned, but as it is "used" I cannot, but how would ihave known it was defective until I used it, the defect did not show until I used it. so - if you just want a big pot to mix paint in, or sterilise baby things in cold water in, fine, but if you actually want it cook with it - avoid this.

6L is small. The quality is great tho

Funziona bene.

Acquistata per fare la birra E+G. Da subito ho capito che si trattava di un buon prodotto, materiale in acciaio non spesso ma per quello che devo farci va bene. Ha il coperchio che serve tantissimo sopratutto per portare l'acqua in ebbollizione e quindi per accelerare I tempi e ridurre gli sprechi di gas. Non e` adatta per fuochi ad induzione in quanto non riporta da nessuna parte la dicitura, e comunque il fondo sarebbe troppo sottile. Per fare la birra ho messo circa 20 litri di roba tra acqua, malto e luppoli. TUTTO ALLA GRANDE, la birra e` venuta spettacolare.;-)) Da aggiungere una nota sul prezzo che tra tutti I prodotti acquistabili in rete, questo e` quello piu` conveniente.

Qualität Katastrophe.... Rücksendung
