A nice standard sized stock pot for home use. Will likely be too small for a commercial kitchen, but it's great for making a big batch of soup, stock, or stew at home.

So nice to have a quality stainless pan. Aluminum is so much cheaper, but when it leaves black on you cloth, imagine what it does to your food. This is a very sturdy pan and the lid fits just right.

This is an excellent, heavy weight pot. Looks very nice. It is difficult to find this type of shape (straight side)in the regular stores. I already have made soup in this pan (home use). It is easy to clean. I am glad I bought this pot. -sb

I bought the Vollrath Optio sauce pot for boiling water for pastas and for making sauces. The bottom is very thick so the heat is evenly distributed and nothing will burn to the bottom. The cover fits nicely. Great buy!

The best part of this pot is that it has no rivets on the inside. It does have a welded bottom plate, but with proper care, you can prevent warps.

The lid to the pot is not used as often as the pit, as we always have a large ladle in it, but useful when needed.

I have used this pot for soups like salmon and meat, it heats everything in the time you want. The handles and lid cover don’t heat up as bad as others I’ve had.

This pot is huge! Not only do I like the quality of the Vollrath/Lincoln 22 quart sauce pot but I like the quality and weight of the lid. The pot is more short than tall which great for someone like me who is on the short side. There's no standing on tiptoe to look into the pot. The weight of lid helps ensure moisture loss is not too excessive. So far I've done a crawfish boil and vegetable soup in this pot for a large family gathering. It was great to have on hand.
