Crestware POT16 16 qt Stock Pot
The Crestware POT16 is a 16 qt aluminium stock pot designed for commercial kitchens and high-volume food preparation. Its 11 1/2 in diameter and 9 3/4 in height provide ample capacity for stocks, soups and bulk cooking. The 4 mm gauge construction offers durability for daily professional use. NSF certification confirms it meets public health standards for food service equipment.
Suited for commercial catering.
This pot suits restaurants, catering operations and institutional kitchens that need a large, NSF-certified vessel for stove-top cooking. It is not dishwasher safe, so operations relying on machine washing should consider alternative equipment. The aluminium handles conduct heat, requiring protective mitts during service. Buyers needing a matching lid must source one separately as no cover is included.
16 qt capacity defines the batch size
The single specification that decides fit is the 16 qt capacity, which determines the maximum liquid volume per batch. The 11 1/2 in diameter sets the burner footprint required on the range. Aluminium construction means the pot is not induction compatible unless used with an interface disc. Oven use is not rated, limiting the pot to stove-top applications only.

Questions about this item
Will the 4 mm aluminum walls of this 16 qt stock pot warp or need replacement under heavy commercial use?
The 4 mm gauge aluminum provides substantial thickness for even heat distribution and structural rigidity, reducing warping risk during prolonged high-heat service.
What is the first practical limit reached when simmering large batches all day in this 11 1/2 in diameter pot?
The 16 qt capacity and 9 3/4 in height set the volume ceiling; exceeding fill level risks boil-over before the aluminum structure reaches a thermal limit.
How much heat does the aluminum body radiate in a busy kitchen when this pot runs continuously?
Bare aluminum conducts heat rapidly, so the sides and handles become very hot during extended use, requiring mitts and adequate clearance from heat-sensitive surfaces.
