In last couple of months I noticed that I am making more food than usual and my pots are continuously spilling over and making my stove a mess. Realising that with four people to feed the little pots from the DINK-y days are just not cutting it, I started using the larger size pots for my regular meals. Then I realised that the larger size pots are great for the stuff I usually made in regular pots but are spilling over with stuff that used to fit in them. I thought about getting a stock pot, but I was not convinced until I started pickling beets and had to boil them in three shifts because they would not fit. Not only that, but I had to use my turkey pan and oven to sterilize the bottles. Yes, it was time to get a stock pot.
So now I have a 12 L stock pot. It is huuuge! I haven’t made anything in it yet but the boys have destroyed the box it came in so it is a keeper. What do you think, will I use it often?
Wow, now that’s a pot. Not only is it huge it’s also curvy and, if I may say, aesthetically pleasing. I think it will become an essential… Just looking at it makes me think of meat balls and sauce, corn on the cob, vegetable soup and stew. Mmm now I’m just hungry!
At least once a year for preparing the New Years’ “sarma”. For a family of four and a week of “sarma” provision ( Remember! Sarma is better the longer it stays!), this is the right size.
