Dimensions Wrong (Great pot!)
How can a stock pot have three dimensions? (Other sites list this as 11.5" diameter by 10" tall.) I have this pot as part of their old 16 quart multipot. For most things, it works as well as my Master Chef 20 qt stockpot (just not as large). The bottom is flat and distributes heat evenly. The sides are thick enough to hold a lot of the heat. Good pot for the money.
Terrific Stockpot
Previously, we have used anodized Calphalon pans. Unfortunately, they don't do well with spaghetti sause and other acidic foods. You end up with uncoated heavy aluminum pans that foods sticks to.
Bought this based on other reviews. It really is terrific. No more burnt spaghetti sauce, no more Calphalon pans losing their anodizing because of reaction to acidy foods. Cleans up great. Any tough areas clean with a little Bartenders Friend.
I like to make large batches of spaghetti sauce, then separate it into smaller protions, freeze them in FoodSaver bags and have it ready in a pinch.

A Better Generic Stockpot Under the All-Clad Name
This is not a multi-ply construction pot, as is most of the All-Clad line (including their smaller stockpots).

That would make it a generic SS stockpot, except that you also get All-Clad's typical handles and lid, both of which are very good. The real quality pickup over restaurant-supply generics that never seems to get mentioned, however, is that the finished surface of the All-Clad pots - the polish ... Read More

All-Clad 16-Qt Stock Pot
I bought this stock pot for a professional chef.
He was and is very happy with the pot. The heavy bottom and lower walls allow for even heat distribution and avoids 'hot spots'.
My purchase was an excellent deal. A very good quality piece of cookware for a realistic price.
I doubt that anyone would be disappointed with this stock pot.
