IMUSA Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Lid, 20 Quart, Silver

I ordered this stock pot to dye a dress in. It was large enough to hold the 3 gallons of water that the dye recipe called for. Since it is stainless steel the dye didn't leave any marks. I thought it was a really good price for how big and heavy duty it is. I plan to use it for canning as well.I did have to order twice. The first pot didn't come with a lid. I contacted the seller and they immediately sent out a new pot that had a lid.

Sturdy and looks good but bigger than I thought. I need it to boil water for drinking purposes. But my friend said it is the kind of pot for cooking crabs. I don't eat seafood like crabs so I wouldn't know. I'm happy with it.

I ordered two of these. One was dented. I was able to push out most of the dent, not a big deal. They’re not the thickest material, so if you are cooking with them, you’re probably going to have a problem with high heat unless you are simply boiling something. I use these on my wood stove to heat water, so they’re perfect.One review complained about the sticker being applied with too much adhesive. The sticker on mine was applied with adhesive on just the left and right edges. I found that filling the pot with water and bringing it to just a warm level is enough to soften the adhesive so it peels off without any issues.

For the money and how many times I will use it in a year it is perfect.but if I was making a lot of something a lot of times I would not purchase it

BEWARE....... BEWARE....... BEWARE....... BEWARE....... BEWARE....... BEWARE....... BEWARE.......ADDITIONAL INFORMATION UPDATE: I'm adding the photo of my floor fan filter, after boiling water in this stockpot... I got these nordic pure filters on amazon on 11/02/2023, and I started using one when I went to bed, early morning 11/03/2023. FYI, I like to use this rigged up fan/filter, as an alternate air cleaning device; anyway I got the pan on 11/07/2023 and I washed it like I mention below and almost filled it to the brim with water, to test by boiling it for about 9 hours (btw, I got this stockpot solely to help with my humidity). When I went to bed early on 11/08/2023, I turned on my floor fan as I always do, to circulate air in my living room, while running my ptac ac, as well. Well, when I got up several hours later and went to turn off floor fan, I noticed it was really black, and I hadn't paid attention before but surely this wasn't from running it for the past 5 days. I've used filters this way before and never have I seen them this dirty in a handful of days (dirty filters have alway been brownish). So, I changed out the filter with a new one, just to make sure, and have been running it since then and it's been staying really clean.So, this pot was putting out black soot or whatever, so it wasn't only what I describe below. When I went to bed, I noticed my right chest area feeling some discomfort, but I didn't think much about it, maybe it was from breathing all that stuff for 9 hours. Another FYI, I've been documenting in an excel spreadsheet everything I eat, every pain, discomfort, etc, I have, any over the counter medications I take, and every bowel movement I have as well, I mean, I try to document everything... So what I'm writing here is not something I'm just making up. After I replaced the filter and have been running my floor fan with the new one for several (5) days, I am now sure the stockpot had something to do with my black, dirty looking filter and my chest discomfort, which I've never felt like that. I've had mid chest discomfort in the past which is probably due to heartburn, but never where one side of my chest felt discomfort like that!!! My original review below is still good as far as the information I provided...***I have been documenting everything I mention above, in my excel spreadsheet since mid 2018, and I do this everyday; like I said, I document everything because I try to be on top of my health, as best as I can***ORIGINAL REVIEW:Whenever I get a new pot/pan, I always wash them good with dish soap, with a little bit of baking soda, water mixture and I boil water in them to test... Well, this pot had a lot of black stuff I wiped off on the inside of pot, after I boiled some water (filled it almost to brim). I've never had black stuff come off of any pot/pan, I've done this with in the past... Anyway, as you can see, it also has an imprint of my stove burner on the inside bottom, the outside doesn't look that way, it's just all scratched up on the bottom of the outside... I only used this once, which was to do the test, immediately after I received it...

Good quality and size for the price.

It works great for a stock pot but not much else because it's so thin!

I bought this pot for dyeing my hand woven fabric. It works great! I was very patient when taking off the sticker, I was able to get the whole thing off.

Good qualité prise work good
