Made In Stainless Steel Stock Pot 12 Quart

The "Project Pot" for Serious Home Cooks

When the holidays arrive, or it’s time to preserve the summer harvest, the Made In 12 Quart Stainless Steel Stock Pot is the only tool for the job. While most stock pots are designed to be tall and narrow, this Italian-made vessel features a distinctively wide 12.4-inch base. This intelligent design choice transforms it from a simple boiling pot into a versatile "rondeau-style" powerhouse, giving you enough surface area to sear large batches of short ribs or brown mirepoix directly in the pot before adding your liquid.

With a massive 3-gallon capacity, this is the pot you grab when feeding a crowd. It effortlessly accommodates a full lobster boil, a double-batch of Sunday gravy, or jars for canning jams and pickles. Despite its size, it offers the same precision control as a small saucepan thanks to Made In’s 5-Ply Stainless Clad construction. The conductive aluminum core extends all the way up the walls, ensuring that your massive batch of chowder simmers gently and evenly without scorching at the bottom corners.

This is professional-grade equipment built for a lifetime of feasts. Weighing in at a sturdy 7 pounds, it is engineered to handle the heat of a commercial kitchen (oven safe up to 800°F) while remaining elegant enough for table service. The rolled rim ensures that pouring gallons of stock into storage containers is clean and drip-free, while the oversized, riveted handles provide a secure grip—even when you are lifting 12 quarts of boiling water.
