This pot is reasonably-sized and reasonably-priced, but it is flimsy and poor quality overall. The pan arrived with the hook in a position that allowed the "matching" basket to dangle into the oil or water (depending on what you're cooking). I thought it was defective until I realized that it took shockingly little force to bend the hook into a useful position. Being that easy to bend, I'm concerned with how sturdy it will be in the long term. Additionally, the manufacturer does not touch up any of the overcast from the metal handle. I had to remove some sharp edge flashing and lightly sand the rough edges down after I got a metal splinter. These are understandable, given the low price. If you need a cheap big fry pot, this fits the bill.
Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear this fry pot did not meet your expectations. This pot is a great value, if you would like to try a more durable option, check out the Vollrath 68227 Wear Ever 9 Qt. heavy duty aluminum fryer pot with basket instead!
