mark poulson Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Be sure it gets up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or it won't cook your plastic properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 What is it you are wanting to do with these pots? I have two but rarely use them. Bought them to hold plastic at temp but they take a lot of room on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought them to hold plastic at temp but they take a lot of room on the bench. Exactly that. Hold plastic at temp with minimal effort for dipping. Do they do a good job for you? You considering selling one or the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines a 20qt. It’s huge. 14” diameter. Definitely more suitable for a larger scale but I got it from Craigslist for a decent price. What’s the sizes you have?
