Tall and narrow loses less to evaporation than wide and low · review
A 20 liter pot for goulash, mulled wine and preserving, on a stainless base with an aluminum core, with two side handles.
What we would actually buy A genuinely large pot at a low price. The constraint is your hob and your arms, not the pot.
A stainless pot about 32 cm (12.6 in) across and 24 cm (9.4 in) high, holding around 20 liters, on a base with an aluminum core, with two side handles.
Preserving, stock in quantity, mulled wine, cooking for a party. It is not an everyday pot, and buying it as one is how it ends up on top of a cupboard.
No domestic ring is 32 cm (12.6 in). The base will heat in the middle and conduct outwards, which the aluminum core helps with. For boiling water that is irrelevant; for anything that can catch, stir it.
Full, this is over 20 kg (44.1 lb). Two side handles are the minimum, and ladling rather than lifting is the sensible habit.
Listed but with no offer on the American Amazon store — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

It will heat, and the base will be hotter in the middle than at the edge because no domestic ring is 32 cm (12.6 in). For boiling that is fine; for a long simmer, stir.
Twenty liters of liquid is 20 kg (44.1 lb) before the pot. Plan to ladle it out rather than lift it, and never carry it full across a kitchen.
