It's the real deal!
My mother was in town visiting and I'd been asking/begging her to make her southern baked beans, she said no because last time she came she'd made them in a turkey roaster (I made alot to freeze the leftovers), needless to say they just weren't right.
She insisted I get a bean pot or no beans. I had to break down and get the bean pot. It wasn't that I didn't want one, I just couldn't find one in Southern Calif.
We got on the internet and found the same pot mother cooked hers in for over 60 yrs. My sister said she paid more than twice my price at one of those high end cooking stores and with Chefs the shipping free, great. But would we get the pot before mother's trip was over? We got the pot 4 days later and those beans were cooking the next morning.
Mother was right, the pot is the secret to perfect baked beans. Thank you so much Chefs Catalog for a wonderful memory, oh and the best yet is I've got mothers bean recipe from watching the old gal do it her way right there in my kitchen, thank you so much.
Mothers cooked baked beans in her pot for 60 some odd yrs, I look forward to just as many in my mine.

best Value
I looked at a lot of sites online trying to find an economical Bean Pot. Everyone else was much higher some as much as twenty dollors higher for smaller pots even. I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought a set of stoneware bowls sixteen years ago from you guys and I am still using them. You guys rock.

great bean pot
This pot worked out very well when I recently decided to make a pot of old fashioned Boston Baked beans like my mom on Maine used to make nearly every Saturday when I was growing up.
Good slow cooking, easy to clean and sized large enough to accommodate my recipe.

Gift
Gave this to my husband as a birthday gift. He has an old family recipe for baked beans and he broke the cover on the last bean pot he had (which was an antique-ouch). He hasn't used the new one yet but likes it because it will hold more beans than the old one.

Classic heavy bean pot - weighs approx 4.5 pounds!
Nice heavy/classic ceramic bean pot - weighs approx 4.5 pounds, so it works great on a buffet line, or at a picnic because it keeps the beans at serving temperature. Good capacity. Probably the only drawback is that the knob on the top is also classic, so can be hard to remove with a bulky hot-pad. Great Value. You need to carry these in more sizes!

Lid handle too difficult to grasp
Thin materials compared to others. The knob that allows you to remove the lid is very difficult to grasp firmly with a potholder or glove.

Good looking pot
Pot, in general, performs well. My only negative is a small 1/4 inch split in the lip under the cover. If the split doesn't turn into a crack and propagate, it will be ok.

must have
A great buy, cooks great and evenly, even keeps the beans warm for about an hour.
