It keeps evaporation slow during long simmers, holds a lot of water for pasta, and has room for a whole turkey carcass or a seafood boil. Look for a heavy, encapsulated or clad base. It spreads heat across the bottom so thick soups and chili do not scorch, and it is required for induction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizing: 6 to 8 qt. covers pasta, soup and corn on the cob for a family. 12 qt. and up handles stock from a holiday turkey, big-batch chili, seafood boils and canning prep. Pasta pots with a strainer insert let you lift pasta or blanched vegetables out without carrying a full pot to the sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStainless stockpots are light for their size, dishwasher-safe and work on every cooktop.
