Tramontina Stainless Steel Stock Pot 16-Quart — Tri-Ply, Induction-Ready

The Tramontina Gourmet 16-Quart Stainless Steel Stock Pot is a heavy-duty, tri-ply cooking pot designed for large-batch soups, stocks, stews and seafood boils with reliable heat distribution and induction compatibility.

If you frequently cook for a crowd, preserve seasonal harvests, or simply want a single pot that handles everything from long-simmered bone broths to boiling pasta, this Tramontina stock pot is built to perform. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with an aluminum core and magnetic outer layer, the pot blends professional-level heat control, long-term durability and a polished finish that complements most kitchens. It ships with a matching 18/10 stainless steel lid, sturdy riveted handles, and is oven- and dishwasher-safe for daily practicality.

How does the tri-ply base improve cooking results?

The impact-bonded tri-ply base combines an aluminum core for quick, even heat transfer with stainless steel inner and outer layers for responsiveness and durability. That construction minimizes hot spots and gives you more consistent simmering or rolling boils across the full 16-quart capacity.

• Aluminum core spreads heat uniformly from center to edge.
• 18/10 stainless steel interior resists staining and is non-reactive with foods.
• Magnetic stainless steel outer layer makes the pot induction-ready.

Is this pot easy to handle when it's full?

Yes—Tramontina fitted this stock pot with precision-cast, riveted stainless steel handles that stay secure under heavy loads and frequent use. The wide, ergonomically placed handles help you lift and carry large quantities safely when draining, serving, or moving the pot to the oven.

• Riveted handles provide long-term strength and stability.
• Lid fits snugly to retain heat and moisture during long cooks.
• Large 16-qt capacity reduces the need for multiple batches.

Will this work on my cooktop and in the oven?

Tramontina designed the pot to be versatile across modern kitchens: it is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic glass and induction cooktops, and it’s oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C). After cooking, the stainless finish accepts dishwasher cleaning for convenience, though hand washing preserves the finish longest.

• Induction-ready magnetic stainless steel exterior.
• Oven-safe to 500°F / 260°C for finishing or braising steps.
• Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup; hand washing recommended to maintain shine.
