What do you recommend for stirring food in this pot, other than a canoe paddle? Something long and stiff is needed, this pot is 17" tall!

I use the pot as a brew kettle, a large stainless spoon or a slotted stirring paddle works well for me. Both can be bought cheap at any home brew supplier

The King Kooker 3604 36-Inch Stainless Steel Paddle is a perfect fit for this.

I use a stainless steel spoon that's 20" in length. I'm using it for brewing, no food.

Since I don't have a Dutch Oven (cast iron? ) with legs, I'm afraid I can't help you. Would imagine it would depend on size of pot and where legs are positioned in reference to stoves handles. Might be unstable due to weigh and configuration. I prefer a flat bottom pot. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I haven't used it yet but this pot is huge. It will take a bit to heat contents up in it but I would say yes, it should do the trick

I use a heavy stainless steel stock pot. This works far better than a plastic bucket.

The best way to use this pot is with a burner. When we tried to use it on the stove it took a long time to heat

I would suggest a thicker pot as well. I wrote them a product review few days ago. Spoke with a rep about how he could improve his product and such. Awesome customer service!

No you will not regret the size, it needs the size to properly be able to stir the food up on the sides as it cooks as to not over cook it. Enjoy.

The biggest thing I've used is the MSR Stowaway Pot 1.6 L. Hope this helps.

I'll go with what the other user posted. to me its big enough pot to do 8 quarts of whatever I am cooking. Its a beautiful pot and very sturdy, after all its a Commercial grade and it cleans up awesome. Works well on my PIC

you will need a long spoon and if u are a short person it can b hard but I like my pot

Pot is top of the line. I agree it could be that your burner will not go low enough. A flame tamer works great.

I can't tell anything about the material that is made, how safe it is to use when preparing food. What I can say is, the picture is a little misleading. This mixer is quite large. I would say about a foot and a half. I hope you have big pots.

It is 11 inches tall and has 14 inch diameter. I do like the pot. It is much better than my previous "soup pot" things do not stick to the bottom like before. It does disperse the heat well and does not have hot spots. Before even when I was stirring things still stuck to the bottom. I very nice pot.

The question is, how wide is the pot? You can cook anything you want on it, but if its wider it takes longer to heat up. Its ceramic so even if it doesn't fit its safe. If you want me to give you the diameter of the heating surface, then ask another question

The inside bottom measures 17 1/8 inches, according to my tape measure. The top measures slightly over 21 inches. So your pot should be less than 17 inches at the bottom in order to fit well.

Agree with other comments. I love this canner and even have used it as a stock pot for large batches of soup but I am concerned that since the height of the pot is 9" you may not have enought room unless you are doing a steam boil with less water. Quarts, pints, and half pints have worked wonderfully for me.

My pot is OD 18.5" and it has lots of space. You shouldn't base your next pot size on the beers you'll be making and not the size of the chiller though ;) I highly recommend 9+ gal pots for full-boil 5 gal batches. Cheers!
