Viking Culinary 3-Ply Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 12 Quart

The Viking 12-quart 3-ply stainless steel stockpot is designed to achieve rolling boils in a shorter time frame compared to conventional stockpots, thanks to its clad construction throughout the vessel. The 3-ply stainless steel build allows the side walls of the pot to transfer energy alongside the bottom, ensuring that more of the pot is working to distribute heat quickly and evenly.

Beautifully polished to a mirror finish, the Viking stockpot is constructed with three layers of metal. The exterior layer is a magnetic 18/0 stainless steel, making the pot compatible with induction stovetops as well as gas, electric, and ceramic. The next layer is an aluminum alloy, which ensures even and efficient heat distribution throughout the pot. The inner cooking layer is 18/8 surgical stainless steel, which is easy to clean and non-reactive, making it an excellent surface for preparing acidic foods such as tomato-based sauces.

The combination of these materials increases the overall heat transfer throughout the pan, making it more efficient for cooking. The large capacity of the stockpot is ideal for preparing pastas, soups, stocks, and more. The vessel's high walls minimize evaporation, making it perfect for slow simmering techniques.

The Viking signature handles are mounted to the vessel with solid stainless steel rivets and are designed for easy grip, even with a towel or oven mitt. Compatible with all stove types, the Viking stockpot is oven and grill friendly up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is also dishwasher safe.

Viking offers a wide range of high-quality cookware, from stainless steel to cast iron, aluminum nonstick, copper, titanium, and carbon steel, catering to the diverse needs of home cooks and professional chefs alike. The 12-quart 3-ply stainless steel stockpot is an excellent addition to any cookware collection, perfect for larger batches of soups, stews, sauces, and more.
