Question 1

Does anyone know the dimensions of the 24 quart pot?

Accepted Answer

to Jeff,  I bought this 24qt. pot at Christmas.  I got lucky w/dimensions because this pot just fits in my kitchen cabinet.  take lid off first then angle lid in on top off pot. dimensions are:  pot w/lid is 13 5/8"w. & 1/2" overhang;  w/o lid 13 3/16"w.;  15 5/8w. handle to handle;  12 1/2"w. at bottom ( perfect for my cooktop because it has vent in the middle & will use one or two burners );  11 3/8" tall w/o lid;  12" tall w/lid. Also has heavy duty steamer/deep fryer basket w/handle. Basket is 7 1/2" tall; 11 1/2"w. at bottom; 11 3/4"w. at top. I just wish the basket was 2" to 3" deeper but, still works for me very well. Also has nice "BAYOU CLASSIC" logo stamped on side of pot. Overall just the right size for indoor home use & outdoor for deep fryer. I wanted mine for mostly indoor. Just right w/o going restaurant size. SS lid w/vent hole. All the other brands I looked at had a glass see through lid which is what I wanted but settled on this "BAYOU" because it was the only one I could find in this 24qt. size. Anything bigger will not fit on home cooktop. Plenty of room w/o fear of overflow. Hope this helps in your search. Mike.

Question 2

How many blue crabs can you steam in the 64qt pot?

Accepted Answer

We an comfortably steam 3 dozen end-of-season #1s in our 36-qt (9 gallon) pot, so if you don't mind them being crushed or cooking unevenly, possibly 8 dozen big guys.  You're better off using two smaller pots or cooking in two batches, though.  Also, the heat needed to re-steam the larger pot is more likely to cause burns on the metal (and early failure of the pot).  We don't know any live-crab cooking kitchen that uses bigger than a 40-qt, for serving a table of 4 customers.

Question 3

Please advise as to the origins of the manufacturing of the metals used as well as the crafting of the product itself.

Accepted Answer

I just bought the 62 quart pot and it arrived in a box that says MADE IN CHINA It is not premium stainless steel, but it is stainless steel.  I did take a magnate to it and it does not stick.  Basket pitted a bit on the bottom after the first use.  I did put salt and seasonings in the pot but drained and washed it within 1 hour of using it.  It does what it is supposed to.  I purchased the extended insurance for 2 years hoping that I will not need to use it.
