Farberware 50008 Classic Stainless Steel Stock Pot/Stockpot with Lid - 12 Quart, Silver

I purchased this to make large batches of Brunswick Stew, and my wife has also used it to cook large batches of chicken to freeze and use for multiple purposes. The pot seems to heat evenly (no evidence of scorching) has been easy to clean so far, and was a tremendous value compared to other choices available when I purchased, especially for a name brand item. The outside is highly polished and the inside is somewhat dull but still cleans easily in our experience, though we have not burned anything in the pot. If you need a 12 quart stockpot, this would definitely be a good choice to consider.

It's a well made big pot

I use this for most of my cooking. It's great for boiling potatoes, it has a thicker bottom that I like for canning and pickling, it's easy to clean. It's taller than I thought it would be, but that works out for me. Definitely would suggest to others!

Needed this to accommodate the after Thanksgiving turkey carcass for soup. It was the perfect size! Of course, because it was so big, it was no fun cleaning by hand. Dishwasher to the rescue! Highly recommended. If you cook for a crowd, this is the perfect pot.

It’s insanely well built. I’ve dropped it, baked on and left for days, induction, grill top, stove and proceed to cram it in my dishwasher dirty and dry.It looks china cabinet worthy is the best way I can put it. I’m a single guy and I beat the hell out of it. It’s super heavy with a great lid design that hold steam. No, it really holds steam.I was searching for and willing to pay whatever necessary for a good stock pot. Again, I’m a single guy I have no clue how much these cost. I’ve fallen victim to the cheap pot you buy at the grocery store that turns into a great science project of layered food and oxidation. Not here, I use the harshest detergent on God’s green earth and the pot sparkles like new. You could have charged me $250.Yeah. It’s a pot. But after 15 hours of dedication cooking something, I do not want to worry or even think about the pot!One tip, it holds heat forever. I Set soup outside at midnight (it was about 20 degrees that night) and it was still warm at 8am. Yeah... I’ll leave the lid off and cover it next time :)

Made of good quality materials and the lid stores nicely. Not the easiest to clean, got it in December and after 4 used there are some brown spots on the bottom of the pot that will NOT come out. Not sure if it’s something burnt or what. Have SCRUBBED the spots multiple times with just about every cleaner… wont go away. Oh well. Probably wouldn’t buy again, but I got it on sale and it does the job.

Great size and utility.

Great pot. Great base for even heating. Well made

the first time we used the pot there were several spots on the bottom that never clean off.

utter rubbish
