Size matters... Ugh c'mon, Babish. Establish dominance in the kitchen with the 8QT & 12QT stock pot by binging with Babish... Nope, you went weirder. This generously sized stock pot is great for boiling eggs, simmering stocks and soups, and much more... Better! The tri-ply construction consists of an aluminum core, greatly enhancing the heating efficiency... You've sold me. Sturdy, riveted handles make for convenient handling and easier transport from cooktop to table... That does sound convenient! In short, you can improve performance and endurance with this one weird trick... And you lost me.
