When you need to cook a large amount of tomato sauce in a non clad pot.

Having made a lot of sauces and stocks and whatever else in stainless steel pots, I'm not sure I understand what the purpose is here. Having to stir less frequently so it doesn't burn on the bottom?

[–] Gregorech 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The frying pan has a copper clad bottom, this allows for a more even heat without hot spots lessening the frequency of stirring and the possibility of burning. The stainless stockpot is only one layer the direct heat would burn much easier especially eith high sugar sugar sauces like tomato.

Oh wow I never noticed the frying pan underneath.

I’m kinda having pot envy.

Just saying.

[–] Gregorech 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

20qt if that makes it better or worse.

[–] FuglyDuck 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like, I probably would only use it once or twice and probably not like storing.... but like... that's a lot of sauce!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can use it for stock. Stock freezes great. You want 20qt of stock. You need this pot.

[–] FuglyDuck -1 points 1 year ago

I mean... I don't use quite that much stock. (or rather, maybe I do, but, like 10qt frozen lasts long enough to get enough scraps fro the next 10qt...) 10qts once a month or so, or 20qts twice that... doesn't really make a difference.

"At least once a year I like to bring in some of my Kevin's Famous Chili. The trick is to undercook the onions. Everybody is going to get to know each other in the pot. I'm serious about this stuff. I'm up the night before, pressing garlic, and dicing whole tomatoes. I toast my own ancho chiles. It's a recipe passed down from Malones for generations - it's probably the thing I do best."

Since it's direct contact adding water would be a bit messy.
