Rating  - What a difference
I had earlier thought my old graniteware stockpot (you know, the black speckly thing you get in the hardware store) was "good enough", but decided to buy this anyway.
My goodness, this made such an enormous difference you have no idea. Not only did it boil the water far faster, it did so much more evenly, and the results clearly tasted vastly better. I am not kidding. I make a variety of stocks at least once a month.
My lid came perfectly flat, but I can understand some of the earlier ones may have been warped, and if you want proof of it, just click in the image of the pot above and look closely at the lid...hilariously, the one in the photo is warped! But as I said mine is fine.
The only thing I would consider replacing this with would be Mauviel 2.75mm copper which would run me about $500 or so.
Rating - Sturdy Enough To Make 200 Proof
After overcooking our last batch Granny got mad and threw our pig iron cooker in the crick. Thank goodness I got wind of the CALPHALON 16-QUART STOCK POT. Not only did this cooker give us a better recipe, it gave our still a more "elegant" flare.
This pot's all-metal construction is perfect for cooking and fermenting cornmeal, and Cousin Skooter adds sugar and yeast with complete piece of mind that none of the precious ingredients will stick to the heavy-gauge aluminum surface. And boy howdy, 16 quarts makes for a lot of recipe--about six jars an hour drops out of the flakestand barrel.
Sure want to thank Cal (Cal Phalon, that is) for making such a wonderful cook pot. Ain't none of us figured out yet what "Hard-Anodized" means, although Cousin Buford claims he had to go to the doctor once to have his anods removed, but that's another story.
Rating - First Calphalon pot
This is the first Calphalon pot that I have bought. I could not be happier. I debated whether to get the 12 quart v. the 16 quart but just went for the larger one. For just my husband and I, we cook spaghetti sauce and chili in this pot and freeze the leftovers for quick lunch and dinner meals. For the size, quality and price, it is great deal!
