 Shop for Stock Pots |
The most expensive pot isn't necessarily the best when it comes to a basic stock pot. Copper pots with triple layers and non-heat handles are great, but not everyone wants to spend $400 on one piece of cookware. Instead, go for a stainless steel or heavy-gauge aluminum reinforced stock pot with a rim for pouring and strong, well-placed handles.
If you do want to spend a small fortune, that's fine too. The same rules still apply. Look for pots with heavy-duty bottoms and even heat distribution, along with great handles. These pots stay on the stove for hours at a time, and you don't want them burning or overcooking your food because of "hot spots." Bare, light gauge aluminum pots with no perks are best known for doing this, so avoid these at all costs.
Non-stick or no? This is a personal choice, although many experts are now saying that these surfaces may be the cause of sickness in some people over time. To be safe, buy regular stock pots and spray them with cooking spray to create a non-stick surface each time. When you're ready to buy, choose from all kinds of stock pots at our website, Sortprice.com.
