Question: Does this pot have any exposed rivets or screw heads (where two handles are attached) on the INSIDE of the pot?
Document: This stock pot is very will constructed, and is the kind of product you can expect to last a lifetime. Unlike some reviewers, I found the handles to be very well attached. I have the 32qt version, and the handles are fastened using a SS reinforcement plate, 4 rivets, and 10 spot welds. They are not coming off.Finish is perfect and the lid fits on snugly. The walls and bottom are very thick and it has more weight than you would expect when you pick it up empty. If I were to drop it, I would be more worried about breaking a tile than denting it, it's that thick.
Pros:There's a 1/2" lip around the top edge of the pot, making it very rigid.The pot & lid weigh in at over 14.5#The lid is convex/domed for strength & rigidity.Handles are sturdily attached with spot welds AND stainless rivets.The thick stainless clad aluminum disc bottom is hefty.Cons:The brushed finish is rather coarse both inside and out, making cleaning a little more work.Made in Communist China where there are over 1100 documented forced labor camps in which are made products for sale in foreign markets, such as the U.S.
I agree that they're spot welded rather than riveted, but IMHO, it's just fine. There are actually two big advantages to this method. First, it leaves the inside surface of the pot completely smooth, with no protruding rivets where the handles attach. It makes clean-up that much easier as food and debris can't get trapped around the rivets. The second is that the handles are cool to the touch, even when the pot is hot. This was true of both the lid and the pot, and I found that I could lift the pot from the stove to the counter without mitts.
There is no exposed aluminum and provides even heat distribution. * stainless steel lid - handle on lid is welded, not riveted, but there is no need for rivets unless you are planning to use the lid as a shield as my children wished to do. * riveted handles - they were both spot welded and riveted, four rivets for each handleThe product shipped double-boxed and upon opening, there were no dents or rust spots. The pot was covered in a grey dust (stainless steel from finishing??).
The handles are securely attached and have nice big loops that are easy to grab even with mitts. This is a great pot for a great price. You will not find anything that comes close to this quality for this price. If you're considering it...buy it, and you'll be glad that you did.
This is a very sturdy pot. Thick walls and a nice solid extra-thick bottom. The handles these were very solid - with rivets and a supporting brace as well. Works great for canning and brewing.
We bought this pot to brew beer since we didn't want to use an aluminum pot + this one was big enough to give us the extra room needed to allow the brew to remain at a low boil. It is heavy (as you would expect). But it is sturdy and heats well and evenly. The handles seem quite strong and are attached with screws through the pot - not just welds. All in all it was just what we needed. I'll probably use it for canning too.
I've purchased both the 60 (first) and 20 quart pots from Amazon and am quite happy with them. I've uploaded pictures of the handles and welds as at the time I ordered this information was not available. You can see that the handles are not bonded to the pot directly but are fastened with a plate that with is then welded to the pot. The 60 quart plate also features rivets. In either case the handles have no play and feel very secure.The 60 quart pot ships in it's own retail box.
This 24 quart pot is better quality than I expected. Mine came virtually flawless and had no roughness. I can confirm the 24 quart version has both four rivets in addition to spot welds on each side handle, while the lid handle has four spot welds. The handles seem very sturdy and of good quality. I'm not concerned about them breaking on me. The bottom is extremely thick and the sides are relatively thick, thicker towards the bottom and tapering off towards the top. The lid is of good quality stainless and convex shaped and fits well.
I use this kettle for brewing beer. It is excellent quality, heavy walled with an insulated bottom so you don't burn the grains. I have used it several times so far with great results. The only minor complaint is that the handles are riveted in. This allows for small contaminants to build up behind the rivets if it is not sanitized very thoroughly. I would highly recommend this kettle otherwise.
Answer: Rivets on inside of larger pots (24+) apparently the rivets are only holding the PLATE that the handles are welded onto, so the actual handles are NOT riveted to the pot, only plate is riveted, and handles are welded onto plate.
