stock pot
Large soup container
A stock pot is a large, deep cooking pot designed for making stocks, broths, and soups.
Its tall, straight sides and substantial capacity—typically six quarts or more—allow for simmering bones, vegetables, and aromatics in large quantities of water over extended periods.
The shape minimizes evaporation while maximizing liquid volume.
Stock pots are kitchen workhorses, also used for boiling pasta, cooking corn on the cob, or preparing large batches of chili or stew.
