Love the pot but the lid was bent...
This pot is big and very heavy. In the area that I live, in the original settlers were English and they call big pots like this "chowder pots". They make something that they call chowder, but is really just vegetable soup. The tradition began long ago by taking all the extra summer veggies from the garden and put in pork, beef and chickens from the freezer, or out of the barn. Here they make up huge pots of this stuff to raise money for the park. Of course all the ingredients these days have to come from the grocery store to sell. This little pot while it is quite large for my needs is very small compared to these giant pots that some people in my community have, since those are around 4 feet tall I would guess, as it seems that they strike a full grown man way above his belly button I think. I hope you have a husband or strong children, a or tough girl friend to help you carry this thing because you will need help. I could have moved it myself when I was 20, 30,or even 40..but now...
