    Out, out dam spots!

    After one use, the inside bottom of the pot has spots that won't come out. Disappointing. I have a 18 quart Faberware pot that is over 50 years old and the inside finish is in better shape. I wish the lid, that was a separate purchase, fit better on the pot. Love the bigger size and the handles, but not completely satisfied with the thickness and quality of the stainless steel on the Vollrath pot. It serves the purpose and maybe after 50 years I'll learn to love it.
