Great Value for the money. Yes they are thin, Yes the rivets are poorly done, Yes they do not hold what they lead you to believe (More on that later), Yes they were dirty with industrial dirt, but they work great for cheese making. The heating delay is very minimal due to the thin metal, great benefit for controlling temps. I have a heavy pot for the water and use these for the milk. On the Volume discrepancy, I found that all the pots held less than advertised. Seemed like a conversion thing from the manufacture. Did a little digging and found that a United Kingdom (UK) Gallon is 20% less than a US Gallon. Funny that all the pots are about 20% undersized. Probably has to do with India being a Commonwealth country, and then transferred the tools and specs to a lower cost manufacturing country. Globalization. They were delivered in record time, three days from order to door. Fast Free Shipping. All in all I went into this with Eyes Wide Open and got what I expected. These are a great Value Buy for working pots, they are not fancy pots to be put on display.

Used smallest pot in set, boiled water, got food out and left the water in pot while it cooled during super. Come back to clean and looked like someone tried to sit on it because the sides were cut at the top and it formed an oval. It still had the water in it, thus it was not someone sitting on it.

I read some of the reviews and was a bit concerned, but tried it anyway. First, I would concur that these pots are lightweight and the metal is thin, but they are still fine for soups, stews, making beer or cheese etc. I wouldn't use them to make a roux or bechamel, but I didn't expect to use them for anything like that. For boiling primarily thin liquids, they are more than fine.
Second, I was concerned about the volume issues, since a number of buyers had said the reported volumes of the pots were considerably less than stated. I checked 2 of the 4 pots and they are spot on within a reasonable measurement. Perhaps this was a problem in the past that has now been corrected.
Third, others had reported leaks at the handles where they are riveted on. The two pots that I tested for volume did not leak at the handles.
So, overall, these are a very good value for the money. If you want very heavy duty pots that you can use to reduce cream, these are not for you. Then again, you shouldn't expect that at this price level. I plan to use mine to make cheese, and it will be perfect for heating 2 gallons of milk at a time in a double boiler arrangement. I'm sure we'll use them for soups as well.

Have two sets of these pots. Use them for all sorts of things. From a roof leak to catching antifreeze drained from a vehicle... Very useful.

This item was purchased for a Boy Scout Troop. We use them when camping. They stack well in our chuck boxes and were an excellent value.
