Imusa Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 16 Quart

This is the thinnest stainless steel pot I've ever encountered. 100% junk. The handles are very flimsy and are made from thin sheets bent into a round tube, flattened, riveted on, then bent over to form a handle. So flimsy that in fact the handle broke off the first time I used it while carrying 3 gallons of water from the inside sink to my outside bbq burner. Also, as others have noted, the sticker is almost impossible to remove without a harsh solvent to remove the gunk. If I were you I'd buy an encapsulated bottom stainless pot that is made from thicker metal, has solid handles and is actually usable.

I just received this pot. I was surprised by how light weight it is. For the price, it is fine but I wouldn't recommend buying it as it is flimsy. Mine was even dirty on the inside. There is a big sticker on the outside that does not come off. It is really a piece of junk. I think it will suit my needs, hopefully it's good enough to boil water in. Wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't even hold up for that purpose. I have gotten much better pots at TJ Max for similar price, unfortunately they are not quite as large as this one. I need 12+ quart.

I bought this soley for homebrewing and it works like a charm. Nothing fancy but a solid piece of kitchen equiptment nonetheless. I'm sure it would do just fine for making soups and stocks as well.
