Burned sauce

15 years ago

I have burned my last batch of tomato sauce. Had to throw it all, including meatballs AND stock pot in the trash. I fell asleep while it was simmering (or so I thought).

Never again.

I need a decent large pot--mostly for boiling water to make large batches of pasta or to make soups. Occasionally for large batches of sauce.

Please offer your recommendations.

Thank you.

The old thin bottomed pot would be fine for boiling water for corn or pasta....or sterilizing canning jars.
But to simmer a sauce you need a heavy bottomed pot...
any of a bunch will do, just be sure they have a heavy clad bottom..
But for Real "Sauce Security" get a big Le Cruset Dutch oven.
