I’m looking for pots that are 24qt, 20 qt, 16qt, 14 qt and 12 qt that are
Excellent quality and built to last.
Any recommendations?
Should I be looking for stainless steel that is 18/10?
Tia!

12 14 and 16 I have Farberware.
Farberware replaces them if there's a problem with it.

30 quart I bought on Amazon but I don't love it and barely use it. It doesn't cook evenly if that makes sense.

I’m looking at these. They are 18/10 stainless steel. Anyone heard of this company?

How does anyone anyone lift a 20 or 30 quart pot when it’s full?! I can barely put my 16 quart pot in the fridge!
But to answer your question… depends what you need it for. If it is for chicken soup you don’t need top quality because nothing burns. But if you are making a huge pot of meatballs for example, you want good quality pot for even cooking and not burning bottom layer.
