Other Update International 60 Qt Induction Ready Stainless Steel Stock Pot w/Cover - $149

[johnodon]

Thought this may be of some interest to some of you. I saw it posted elsewhere that these pots are essentially the same as MegaPots.

Staples has the Update International 60 Qt Induction Ready Stainless Steel Stock Pot w/Cover for $148.99 with free site-to-store shipping. This is a better price than Amazon.

Add on a $15 off $150 coupon if you add another $1.01 to your order: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/staples.com?c=5737954. This brings the price down to $134 (not including tax..~$8 for me).

[Hello]

Wow great price. I wonder if 14.75" will be too wide since my 13" is already hanging off my induction burner. I do like that i can do 10 gallon batches in there though. My current 10 gallon pot is 17" wide and definitely not induction ready.

That 14.75" is the height, not the width. The diameter is 18.63" . . . that would be way huge on anything but a full size induction cooktop.

Correct. I just ordered a BIAB bag from Wilser and had to double-check the dimmensions.

EDIT: Funny...maybe it is just me...judging by the picture it looks like the pot is taller than wider. Now I am doubting myself.

EDIT#2: OK...I feel better again. This is right from the Update International website: http://update-international.com/jpg_300x300/sps-60.html

Holy cow this thing is a BEAST!!! I never felt such a heavy pot. Very well constructed. I was worried about the $4.87 dimple tool being able to pull the wall out but it managed to get the job done.
