3987.0. "Equipment: Looking for 30qt+ Stock Pot" by APLVEW::DEBRIAE () Tue Oct 25 1994 10:57

	Does anyone know of a good source to buy a large stock pot from? 

	I'm looking for a 30-quart size or larger, and all of the stores I've
	looked at seem to only go up to 18-quart.  It's canning season and I've
	been making a lot of tomato sauce and apple sauce in too small a stock
	pot (22-qt).  Just a little more height on the sides would prevent a
	lot of the present boil-over and splatter hassles.  It would also
	eliminate having to use two pots per batch.  I finished the third batch
	at 4AM last night!! I think there are only enough tomatoes out in the
	garden for one more batch, so this is more or less a purchase for next
	year (if there are any seasonal sales I can wait for).

	Someone once mentioned a shop in Waltham that catered to commercial
	chefs which sold items for good prices. Anyone remember the name?

    Try Sam's Club.  The one in Westboro, MA has a big section w/
    commercial cookware (can't vouch for the quality, but there are a lot
    of items to choose from).

    Call Westerman's in Worcester on Green Street.  They sell new/used
    restaurant equipment wholesale.  My aged phone book here shows the 
    phone numbers as:
    
    (508)756-7777
    (598)753-1111
    
    Good prices.
