Stainless Steel Stock Pots

Stainless steel is commonly used to produce cookware and household cutlery. Stainless steel stockpots are highly resistant to corrosion and are very durable. Stainless steel stockpots are not only great for cooking, but they are also good for storing solutions and mixtures for extended periods. Stainless steel does not react with acids or alkaline mixtures. Stainless steel is also resistant to scratches and denting, a great quality for outdoor cooking.

For large crawfish boils or fry batches, be sure to buy higher gauge stainless steel stockpots and aluminum stockpots, as they will be exposed to heat longer. For large boils and fries, keep in mind that stainless steel stockpots do not conduct heat as efficiently as aluminum stockpots. Stainless steel stockpots will take longer to heat.

Stainless steel stockpots are chemically neutral, meaning they will not react to acid or alkaline mixtures. Stainless steel stockpots will not add an “off-taste” to your stews and chilies. Aluminum stockpots will react to some detergents and their finish can dull after several washings. Stainless steel stockpots will remain bright after cleaning because they do not react with detergents.
