Vollrath 77522 Tribute 16 Qt. Stainless Steel Sauce / Stock Pot

The product description really does this pot a dis-service. I know plenty of people that rave about this line of pots but nobody actually says anything specific about them to allow you to do any reasonable comparison shopping against other similar products. Overall, I'm very happy with this pot. Here is what I noticed: 1. The pot is three-ply...but the bottom is VERY thick! Comparison shopping had led me to believe I could have a thick clad bottom or a tri-ply construction. This thing has a thick aluminum core in the bottom but the sides are a reasonable thickness so the pot isn't too heavy. 2. The handles are low enough to give you perfect balance when pouring the contents. It doesn't feel like my wrists are straining to elevate the bottom while pouring. It's a very ergonomic design. 3. I would have liked to see some chemically etched capacities inside the pot but that's not so hard to do so I'll just have to do it myself.

Great large size pot (for home use). Sturdy with even heat distribution and comfy handles if you need to carry it to the sink. The lip is great for pouring too!

Sturdy and good weigh but a bit disappointing on rust mark only after a few uses. Not the Vollrath quality that I am used to but this pot is made in China so it might explain the difference with the other items I have my in the US.

Made in USA! An absolute tank, worth every penny! Bought this with pot for making smoked chili at events and cook-offs, using it over the fire box of an offset smoker and it took it like a champ. Excellent heat conductivity, even the sides would be bubbling when in cold and windy conditions. Zero warp after all this abuse, sets perfectly flat on my glass top range. A little wipe of oven cleaner to remove the wood fire soot, and some vinegar on the inside to remove mineral deposits and it looks like new after every use!

This pot is exceptional! I chose this pot because it is made in the USA. Really! It is made in the USA! The pot is heavy enough to feel like it is sturdy and will cook evenly, but light enough that I can move it by myself after multiple hand surgeries. I make large batches of sauce and casserole type dishes in quick order because I was able to reduce quickly, heat thoroughly and this pot cleans up in a snap. I would recommend this for anyone who is making large batches of anything on a stove. I didn't even feel like I needed to stand on a step stool to see inside! I would make soups in here as well, even though the pot is wide and will have more evaporation than a stockpot or soup pot. I highly recommend the Tribute line from Vollrath.

At 20 quarts, this pot is large enough to handle almost everything. It is constructed of durable stainless steel. Heavy-duty and easy to clean. These are made for everyday use and can handle anything you throw at them.

I really love the tribute line of Vollrath pans. I have about every size and they are so sturdy. I only regret that they are made oversees.

A decent stockpot. It is made in China, which I wasn't expecting, as I'd thought Vollrath pots and pans were US made. It turns out some of the larger versions of this stockpot are made in US, but not this specific one. Regardless, it seems to be well-built and does its job.

This stainless steel pot is extremely durable and made of high quality materials, and is easy to clean. The handles are well designed but could use heat resistant covers.

Well made pot that does exactly what you would want or need it to do. Vollrath is a reputable brand and this is no exception.

I would highly recommend this type of pot. They are the same thickness throughout the whole unit. They are excellent for making large batches of sauces and soups. I would buy them again.

i love how well built it is, I assumed all vollrath products are made in the USA but not this one. And i should have checked the website more carefully, but this one is made in China. Not that it affects the build and the quality cuz this is a very well built stock pot i can see it being used for many years to come

The Vollrath Tribute 6 Qt. Stainless Steel Sauce/ Stock Pot is Commercial quality. It is great for soup and chili and is very durable. Food doesn’t stick to the bottom easily and it is easy to clean. You can’t go wrong by purchasing Thisbe product.

This pot was one of the best things i bought for the restaurant all year. It is such a joy to use. It heats evenly and resists burning your soups and sauces well

The quality of this pot is great. The metal is thick. It's my stock making pot. It handles the job of boiling stocks and stews for a long time like a champ.

The best price on the market. This is an excellent quality and durable pot especially if you are heavily using and keeping heated. Handles are also very sturdy.

Needed a simple stock pot that wasn't too large. This one did the trick for me. I have nothing bad to say about this product.

another good size pot for making stock. we use this size stock pot to make fish stock. the small amount is great for daily using in my restaurant.
