Aluminum Stockpot with Boil Basket Customer Reviews: Showed up with dented lid.   June 21, 2010 J. Lisk The pot is fine(minus the dented lid). The service is horrible. This is the last time I order from Amazon. The pot showed up in 2 days(great). If you want to return it plan on spending an hour on hold then waiting 2-3 weeks to get a replacement. I will never order from Amazon again! Is there ever such a thing as too large?   December 3, 2009 N. Cody (San Francisco, CA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is an impressively large and sturdy pot that I'm sure will last for years of occasional use. The handles seem sturdy as does the basket and its lifting handle. The lid is a bit thin and if dropped could get warped easly, but it is aluminum so easy to bend back. I only have one complaint; I would have liked the basket to be a little shorter, that way I could put something in the bottom of the pot to leave a space to use it as a steamer. As it is, if I put even a 1" spacer in the bottom, then the lid doesn't sit tight. I don't agree with the reviewer that said it was flimsy. I think that is just the feel of aluminum compared to the normal steel pots we are all used to. Even the higher end aluminum pots that cost twice as much still have the "flimsy feel". But I will say this isn't a professional grade pot, it you plan on using it every day or every weekend you may want to invest in something better. For me, I'll use it 3-4 times a year, and I have no doubt it will last me for years. Great pot!   August 17, 2009 Susan Wilhelm (Atlanta, GA) Great pot! It is very sturdy. We have used it twice already once for a crab boil and once for crawfish. great product!   July 8, 2009 Margaret A. Kuscsik We used this onyl once so far, but it works great! no marks or scratches! great product! fastly shipped and in great condition! You get what you pay for   June 13, 2007 Richard A. Epstein (Austin, TX) 11 out of 13 found this review helpful This pot was a bit of a disappointment. I guess that the adage "You get what you pay for" is true. I picked this one because it was the cheapest I found and now I know why. It is made with thinner aluminum and is less quality. The pot was distorted out of shape from pressure on the carton during shipping. This was actually easily fixed by just squeezing the pot back into shape. A good quality stockpot of this size would never be that flimsy or easy to bend out of or into shape. I can't wait to fill it up with water and pick it up by the handles. It feels like it is likely to distort just from the weight of the water and pressure of the handles on the flimsy sides. I would recommend paying a little more and getting a thicker, more commercial quality pot.
