I just paid 59$ for a "40qt" aluminum pot with a really nice steamer basket and lid from Sportsmans Warehouse.
I get it home, rip the label off and decide to mark it on the inside, using my trusty Crafsman screwdriver as an awl, 5, 6, and 6.5 gal lines using my best screwdriver penmenship... and it looks - strangely close to the top???
The pot only holds 8 Gallons!! and I already scratched it up with my markings!
DAAAANG!!
What is this? Is it common practice to FLAT OUT LIE about capacity?
Do the Chinese use a smaller quart than we do? Is this an importer ripoff??
I never thought this would boil 10g batches - obviously but now do I have to worry about boilover with only a 32qt pot?
