" ... We recently started making our own dog food “stew” and decided that a second 12 quart pot would be good to have to allow me to cook up a double batch, and thus need to make the stew only half as often. ... When I saw that this highly rated Cook’s Standard pot is only about half the price of a new Tramontina pot, we decided to take the chance. ... "

" ... This has immediately become my "go to" pot for brewing tea (roomy for boiling nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, allspice berries & lots of ginger for a good, long time before adding the tea, and later, flavoring juices). ... (If you got a standing cone to insert in a small turkey cavity, you could use this pot to roast it. ... "
