Universal (Medium Size) Caldero 18 Cups - 6.3 QT / 6 L, Stainless Aluminum Pot, Even Heat Distribution and Fast Cooking Dutch Oven Pot, Ergonomic Handles, Ideal for Rice, French Fries, and More

This small pot met my expectations it's the right size I wanted and loving using to make gravy in.

One of my favorite pots. Cleaning it was very easy. I love making my meals in it. This is made of material that will last for many years. Kinda like the same pot your grandmother used when you were a kid and she still uses it today. Very sturdy.

The caldero arrived in perfect condition with its lid fitting perfectly and no visible aluminum casting defects. The edges of both the caldero and its lid needed some minor sanding though, for they are a bit sharp in a new caldero and would tear apart skin of my hand, or any sponge or towel used to clean and to dry it. I used dishwashing detergent to get rid of the dust (there was a lot of it), then cleaned it with Brillo pad, and polished it with cream of tartar and buffed with Flitz polishing microfiber cloth. It does not require any special "seasoning" with oil, tallow, or lard, unless one wants to pan fry something in it. It's beautiful. It's very roomy (18 cups of cooked rice or 4.5L of any other cooked food in it). It's just what I wanted. Made in Colombia. For some reason, it feels like the lid weighs as much as the caldero itself or more. Of course, it's an illusion, because the lid is 700g and the caldero is 900g, but still. There is much more metal per square inch in the lid than in the pot. The pot is made of thinner layer of cast aluminum and the lid is substantially thicker. I guess it will help keep the lid down when steaming rice or stewing/simmering something. I have heavier and much heavier cast aluminum calderos at home, so I actually appreciate how lightweight this one is.
