how thick is the bottom of this pot? I have an older one over 1/4" thick and am looking for something similar.

We have older Faberware pots too. I bought this one for my son who has used it a lot and he has not complained - and he would have had it not been thick enough for even cooking. He uses it to make large meat sauces and soups. He's an engineer and is very fussy about his materials, but I can't say how thick it is. Hope this helps.

The pot has a 10" diameter and is very nearly 5" deep. And, BTW, I LOVE mine!

It's just over 1/4". I have an old one that is exactly the same thickness and it has been making pizza for 15 years! So they work well.

Basically, yes. The bottom is a bit thicker. Note, the lid has a CUT OUT to accommodate the basket handle. If you want to use it as a pot, get a different lid.

I have a smaller pot, so I can't answer the first question...but the bottom is flat

It is fairly thick. The pot is heavy. I have the 8Q size. It is stainless steel and then there is another layer on the bottom. It can be used with gas, electric & induction ranges.

I think it's a bit thicker than the last ones I purchased. My husband estimated it's about 3 1/2 inches.

I can't tell you the gauge, but it's got a nice thick bottom and the whole thing is of good quality. Nothing flimsy. Reinforced handles on pot are reinforced and riveted. Lid also riveted. Everything is nicely ground w no rough edges. I bought this a couple of years ago i'm thinking? I use it a lot and even cook on top of the woodstove with it. Love it. No problems. It was a good buy. It is China made, but not cheap.

How HIGH is this pot from bottom to top rim (w/o lid)? Also, how WIDE? The info is contradictory! Thanks.

This is indeed a very sturdy pot. BUT if you do not heat the pot evenly, the bottom of the pot will bow out (downwards). On a residential electric range, my copy of this pot bows as much as 1/2 inch. This pot is much better suited for gas or propane cooking than for electric cooktops.

The pot is about 3 1/4" deep and 4.75" across on the bottom (the small part of the pot). The handle is about 4" long. Hopefully this makes sense as I'm terrible with measuring dimensions and I just used a ruler on it.

I purchased on about a year ago that is excellent . I use it with several different size pots. It was mfg by Calphalon. I do not recall more info. Its bottom is small then it steps up in size in stages.

So sorry this took so long, I was out of town. This pot is slightly under 5 inches deep. Its a great slow cooker. D

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.

Not very thick. Used mine 6 or 7 times and it is full of holes. I guess I did not clean it up good enough after steaming shrimp and crabs. Find a heavy duty pot.

It is no way near 1.5" thick. I would not want to lift it if that was true. Mine is right at 5/16" thick (0.3125").

If you do not have a STAINLESS STEEL pot, you will want to get a 24 qt or bigger pot. Do not buy the cheap one. Buy one that you can use for many things, with a thick bottom.
