It works well, looks terrific, and has excellent design. The pot is sturdy and solid and features the best pair of handles I've ever used (cool and easy to grip). The transition between side and bottom is a nice rounded curve for easy cleaning. I'll never know if it braises or fries as well as my 4 qt all-clad; in my small household I use this 12 qt mostly for steaming and soup, where it performs flawlessly. You don't need to spend $360 to boil water!Is this pot up to the standards of the All Clad? The handles are welded on and then reinforced with a welded plate. The design is sturdy, functional, and handsome, but not the absolute highest standard. The handle on the lid is merely spot welded--completely adequate for the non-stress needs of a lid handle. The pot isn't fully clad, but I don't see that as a problem for my needs. On the plus side, this pot has a curved lip for easier pouring.I have the Bosch 3065 induction cooktop. This pot is large enough to fit the huge 11-inch burner. I'll probably also buy the 8 qt stock pot, but it will have to fight with the 4 qt all-clad for the medium sized burner.Edit: 2+ years and quite a few steamed crab and lobster later, I'm as happy as a clam (I've steamed some clams too!). Someone asked about the specific dimensions... diameter of completely flat bottom is 10 1/4 inches, there is a curved transition to the sides so the side to side diameter is 11 1/4 inches, handle to handle span is 15 1/2, height of pot without lid is 7 1/2, and height including lid is 9 inches to the top of the lid's handle. I've noticed that the price has inched up to $52 in line with general inflation, which means that it's still a great pot at a superb price.Edit: 6+ years ... still happy customer. Not a lot of use, but when I exceed my 4 and 6 quart pans, it's nice to know that I have a full 12 quarts. Even a small household occasionally needs a large pot. I feel this is a single purchase that will last a lifetime. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Pot is GREAT........color me AMAZED ! *by C***E on March 11, 2014* I purchased this to replace an 8 quart Calphalon stock pot (with non-stick coating). The Calphalon lasted a mere 18 months but to be fair I use the pot for just about everything, almost daily. I find doing this seems to make a non-stock coating break down rather quickly.I'm sick of buying a new 'everything' pot every 2 years or so.I gave this New Professional Commercial Grade pot a chance and dreading that foods might stick to it; making it hard to clean. Guess what? It's easy to clean and takes just a bit of scrubbing. Yes: it stains inside from cooking and I don't care. Perhaps if I used bar-keep to clean it once in awhile.......but I don't think I'd need to do that more than once a month or so.I've used it 5 times now - spaghetti sauce, taco meat, hamburgers, chicken, and beef stew. It all cooked evenly and clean up was easy. I'm sold on this type of cookware now! I'm planning to slowly (as my budget allows) buy more pieces - like an 8 quart pot, some sauce pans, and a couple fry pans. I'm thinking this will last a lot longer than 18 months and since it doesn't have a non-stick coating inside, I don't have to watch for when the coating starts to break-down and flake.I love the lid because it's easy to clean (the prior used Calphalon model has a glass lid that water was always trapped inside the stainless frame around the edges......so annoying and it would get moldy.....yes mold. Hated it and had to soak it in something to eat up the mold.I recommend this highly and I honestly ....... plan on getting more of the same brand. Thank you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still loving this pot after 3 years! *by M***A on May 19, 2015* I've had this point for almost 3 years. Mine is labeled Thunder Group and made in China. In a perfect world, I would be buying made in the USA; but, being imperfect and trying to make my dollars stretch, I look for the best value for the money spent. I really feel like this pot has been a good value. I have cooked soups, gumbos, stews, smothered steak with thick gravy, chili, beans, vegetables... well... you name it, if I cook it, it has probably been in this pot. I grab it may times when a 5 quart would do...but... I know this won't stick and with the extra height, what is in the pot will stay in the pot.The bottom of my pot is still as flat as it was when I took it out of the box... and there have been times I have started it on the 3,000 watt large (glass) burner because I was in a hurry for the soup to come to a boil so I could turn it down to simmer and walk away. I think that would be the only thing I might do which might warp the bottom... no plans to fill it up with cooking oil. lolAlso, when the lid is on, I don't find that it spits and sputters as lids do which don't have a steam vent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Update International Professional Commercial Grade 12 QT (Quart) Heavy-Gauge Stainless Steel Stock Pot, Silver - Winware by Winco Winware Professional 7 Quart Aluminum Sauce Pan SaucePanAlu - Winco 6.0mm Aluminum Stock Pot, 12-Quart --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1581916-new-professional-commercial-grade-12-qt-quart-heavy-gauge-stainless](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1581916-new-professional-commercial-grade-12-qt-quart-heavy-gauge-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
