Description
The Vollrath Optio 3501 8-quart stainless steel stock pot gives value-conscious commercial kitchens dependable performance for pasta, soups, stews, sauces, stocks, and other large-volume recipes.

Two reinforced handles offer a secure grip for positioning and transport, and the natural finish supports straightforward cleaning and a professional appearance. A low-domed cover is included to help retain heat and moisture for more efficient preparation. With its 8-quart capacity, 21-gauge construction, and NSF certification, model 3501 is a practical choice for restaurants, cafés, cafeterias, catering operations, and institutional kitchens that need versatile stainless cookware at an accessible value.
