I was in my local restaurant supply store picking up the usual things I
need for the holidays (sheets of parchment, large sizes of baking
ingredients, etc.) and it turns out they have their annual kitchen sale
this month. Lots of huge kitchen pots, pans, implements and
consumables on sale.

I was looking at the 10-quart stock pot, since mine is a cheapo thin
stainless one. This one's aluminum, and a decent thickness by
comparison (thicker than say, calphalon, but thinner than my old cast
iron pans) and made in Korea.

At $15, anyone have comments on this?

(silly question. this is usenet. everyone has a comment<G>)

I've got a cheapo thin/lightweight one too. I think I bought it at
Penney's maybe 20 years ago. It mostly works OK but tends to scorch
things that end up lying on the bottom. It has become my
spaghetti/pasta pot.

For $15, I'd grab it in a second.

Incredibly good deal.
