What is your largest pot, Casserole or Baking Pan or Bowl?

[GadgetGuy]

It would probably be a stock pot that you have - one for doing larger-than-normal amounts of something. Especially soup stocks & big pots of homemade soups!! Crowd-sized meals!


I call it the "Boss Pot" because it is just for that purpose, as its name implies. So what is YOUR largest pot? It could be aluminum, stainless steel, hard anodized or whatever.

Here's mine. 12 qts.. Was going to get another Vollrath 16-qt., but it is now way too expensive!! Almost $200!!!

Our largest is 250 mm dia x 150 mm deep. My rough calculation gives just under 8 litres or just over 8 US quarts.

Do you have a pic of it?

I can get one later but it's in this cupboard. And I think we may have three that size. I'll check later (off to the hairdressers now).

Not very large. I don't really need large pans and have nowhere to keep them. However, if a sous-vide is counted as a pan then that would be the largest. It was a Xmas gift. It currently lives in the cellar... not because I don't use it. There are power points down there and as sous-vide cooking is slow and there is no need to keep an eye on the cooking, it seemed a sensible place to put it.

This was the first thing that I made in mine; Spaghetti with Meat Sauce!! And there still was plenty of room to spare!!

Back in the UK I had a school dinners' pan for cooking chili con carne. It was about 24" x 18" rectangle x 3" deep and took up all four gas burners at the same time. It looked a little like this:

Nice, but, Probably wouldn't fit in my oven!!

This is one of the stainless steel ones. The other stainless steel one is the same but comes with a steamer tray. The other 250 mm diameter one is aluminium and I cannot remember the last time that we used it.

It wouldn't fit in mine either. I didn't buy it. When we closed the works canteen it just happened to end up on the rear seat of my car.

I'm trying to remember if old UK pints are the same as USA pints (I think they may be a bit different) - 2 pints in a quart = 24 pints? About 12.5 litres.

Two pints (16 oz) equal a quart, so yes 12 qt is 24 pints.
