Title: Quality and Volumes are Suspect
Product review: Issue 1: The quality is poor. I expected poor quality from a four pot set for $40, so I was not displeased with the chipped stainless coating nor with the thin gauge steel.Issue 2: I was displeased with the false advertising pertaining to the pots' volumes. Every pot is about 25% low in volume. The "20qt" pot is about 15qt. The "8qt" pot is 6qt, etc. Volume measurement is not always accurate, so here I will supply the linear measurements to calculate the volume:The largest pot measures 9.5" high (interior) by 11.5" diameter (interior)PI * (11.5 / 2)^2 * 9.5 = 960.8 cubic inches960.8 cubic inches * 1 qt / 57.75 cubic inches = 16.63 quartsThat is the volume when filled to the brim. You could only boil about 15 quarts safely.If all you need is four cheaply constructed nesting pots of volumes between 6 and 15 quarts, then this is the product for you. If you want better quality or the volumes actually stated on the packaging, find a different product.
