Winco 20 qt Stainless Steel Brazier Pan with Lid

As someone who frequently cooks for large gatherings, finding cookware with true capacity and durability is essential. The Winco Commercial-Grade Stainless Steel Brazier delivers on the 'commercial-grade' promise, offering a substantial and robust tool for the busy kitchen. ​Initial Impressions and Build: The first thing you notice is the heft. This pot has some satisfying weight to it, confirming its heavy-duty construction. Crucially, it sits solid on its bottom, providing unwavering stability on the stovetop—a major safety and performance benefit when dealing with large volumes of hot food. ​The stainless steel construction is exactly what I needed, and the inner space is quite adequate to cook for a crowd. This brazier is ideally shaped for making stews, sauces, or large-format braised meats for extended family or large parties. ​Noting a Minor Flaw: I must note that both the pot and the accompanying lid arrived with a small dent. While this is a minor cosmetic issue, I am relieved that it does not impede the pot’s performance or structural integrity. It still seals fine and retains its commercial-grade resilience. ​Conclusion: Despite the minor ding, I am genuinely thrilled with this purchase. Its stability, weight, and volume make it a truly valuable addition to my cookware arsenal. I can't wait to cook in it for my party this weekend, knowing it can handle the workload effortlessly. This brazier is built for business, and it's definitely ready to feed a crowd.

This Winco brazier is seriously built to last......thick, heavy-duty stainless steel that heats evenly and holds up under serious cooking. The 15-quart capacity is perfect for a big batch of Sunday sauce, soups, or braises, and the snug-fitting lid locks in flavor and moisture. It’s a kitchen workhorse that combines durability with professional-grade performance......definitely worth every penny if you love cooking at home.

This is an awesome pan! It is huge, heavy and strong! I made a big batch of spaghetti sauce and it was very easy to clean up! Definitely recommend it!!

EXCELLENT PRODUCT VERY HEAVY AND LARGE. BOUGHT IT FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO LOVES TO COOK. WORTH EVERY PENNY

We love this pot! We use it every single day several times a day and now we have to buy more! Our restaurant couldn’t do without it! Easy to clean, heats evenly, foods really don’t stick, and it’s big enough that I can cook a full pot of whatever I’m cooking and it’s just the right amount!

This is my second pot purchase from the brand. My first one was a 16-quart tri-ply stock pot, which I still use for large batch cooking. While that pot performs very well, it is quite heavy because of the full tri-ply construction. This time, I wanted an even larger pot and decided to try the commercial series version. One thing I immediately noticed is that the commercial series design is wider rather than taller, which makes a huge difference when cooking large batches. It is much easier to stir food properly and manage ingredients evenly compared to taller stock pots. Unlike the consumer tri-ply models, this commercial series pot only has a layered bottom rather than full tri-ply walls. Honestly, for a pot this size, I think that design makes sense because most home gas stoves cannot distribute heat evenly up the entire side walls anyway. The bottom heating performance was excellent and distributed heat evenly during cooking. The build quality is very impressive. The stainless steel has a good thickness and feels sturdy without being excessively heavy. The lid is also solid, heavy, and well made. I’ve already used it once for a large batch meal, and it performed exactly as I hoped. When cooking large quantities, having enough room to properly stir food is extremely important, and this pot really delivers in that regard. Another major advantage is the price. Considering the size and stainless steel construction, I think this pot offers excellent value for money. Overall, I’m very impressed with this purchase and am already considering buying an even larger version in the future for making bone broth and other large-volume cooking. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy commercial-style stainless steel pot for large batch cooking.

Good quality for the price

Pot is nice and stainless, but it still burns off food and a hassle to clean.

Excelente, lo estrenaremos en una carne asada para servir al centro de la mesa…tiene una gran capacidad…

Product quality is not for cooking rice recipes. Bottom part get sticky. Not recommended this product.

Muy bonita, la arrocera pesa, pero es muy útil. Me encantó, la recomiendo Yo la volvería a comprar Solo que ahora necesito otra pero un poco mas grande.

Have had this for over a year and have used it many times for large meals for the family - sauces and braised meats for for the kid's freezers. This is perfect for larger batches, easy to clean (by hand) and sits flat on a glass-top stove. Highly recommended.

Excelente calidad
