Product Description

The convenient steamer/drainer insert is perfect for lifting out seafood when cooked. Includes metal faucet for draining broth. This Granite Ware 3 pc 19 quart crab and crawfish cooker stock pot is constructed of porcelain on carbon steel. The result is a pot that heats rapidly, is easy to clean and has an inert glass surface so there are no PFOA's or other chemicals to alter food's taste, color or healthfulness. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove. The large capacity 33 quart pot is designed to accommodate big gatherings and produce outstanding results.

GREAT CRAB POT
By A. Meehan
Don't mess with tradition...this is the same crab pot I grew up with! Simple, and practical...we use it outside on the side burner of the grill to get a good rolling boil for steam that you don't get with the new electric stove tops. The PERFECT steamer for blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay tradition! Hint: add 2 cups of water, 2 cups of vinegar & 2 beers to the base, and bring to a boil...load live crabs in top, layering with "Old Bay" and steam til they turn red (10 min?). ENJOY them while they are HOT!

A Pot By Any Other Name Just Wouldn't Be The Same!
By Peter Suslock
These Granite Ware steamer pots are an absolute must have. I've used them for more than 30 years and have always loved how long they last and how beautifully they steam lobsters, clams, oysters- you name it.They're also wonderful for steaming veggies, chicken, fish and virtually whatever you like. The bottom pot is also perfect for anything from pasta to chili.If you're concerned about the size not being large enough, it's perfect. I've fit four 5 pound lobsters, 2 pounds of cherry stone clams and potatoes without a problem. Plus unlike the monster 33 quart this fits well on the stove be it electric or gas.Keep in mind the larger sizes are not recommended for glass top cooking ranges. However this size is fine.I noticed my 19 quart which has to be at least a decade old had rusted on the bottom and I needed to replace it, some specialty sites were almost twice the list price as these pots aren't the easiest to find, hence the jacked up pricing.Delighted to find my exact steamer pot by Granite Ware here on Amazon at such a bargain I didn't hesitate to buy it.The pot arrived in two days ( gotta love the Amazon Prime benefits ) especially if like me, you shop on Amazon often.The steamer arrived wonderfully packaged, in it's original factory box inside an Amazon box.Again, this is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. Well made, versatile and despite it's size it's very easy store even if you have limited space.Terrific Value!

crab steamer pot
By M. McDonald
For those of us who love steamed crabs, this is the pot to have. While you can get a pot like this in Maryland at any Wal-mart, since I moved to Florida, on-line is the only way to get one. This one was the right size for the right price.
