Hosting? Holidays? Soup season? You’re gonna need our 12-quart stock pot, a big-batch wonder and the newest addition to our popular line of Hybrid nonstick pots. It’s ideal for starting a soup base, simmering up Sunday sauce, batching out turkey gumbo or making seafood boils for a crowd. (And consider how wonderful a huge pot of spiced cider is in winter, perfuming your home.) So go ahead and make your homemade chicken broth–you can fit the whole bird in here!–or a giant batch of your famous chili, ratatouille or fresh tomato sauce. Freeze small portions in ice cubes trays, put the cubes in plastic bags, and break out small amounts as you need them for risotto, pizzas and the like. Your future self will thank you.  Features:  Ideal for big-batch cooking, boiling, simmering, steaming and stewing. True hybrid versatility: durability of stainless with the convenience of nonstick. Tri-ply construction heats quickly and evenly, providing excellent temperature control.  Easy-to-clean and dishwasher- and metal utensil–safe.
