Every kitchen home and commercial restaurant , requires a versatile stock pot for soups, pasta, stews, some sauces, blanching, boiling, and steaming! A stockpot is a tall, relatively narrow, yet capacious, utensil with straight sides. It is used to cook very liquid foods that do not require being immediately next to the heat source; excellent for soups, pasta and large sauces which call for minimal surface evaporation. Our Stock pots have a heavy bottom to protect against burning and scorching. Stockpots can be made of several different materials, such as aluminum, hard anodized aluminum , and stainless steel. The drawback of Aluminum is that it reacts to acidic and alkaline foods, causing it to corrode and affect the taste of the food being cooked. Hard Anodized aluminum is aluminum that has been given a special finish to protect it from corrosion witch helps keeps it from reacting to acidic and alkaline foods. It is a good conductor of heat and the special finish makes it stick-resistant. Stainless steel is a good material for any type of pan because it does not corrode and does not react with alkaline or acidic materials. Stockpots are available in sizes ranging from 5.5 quarts to 65 quarts and generally include a cover. 7 to 16 quarts are standard sizes that will satisfy many uses. The larger kettles would be good for brewing your own beer or making wine.
