re: Cast iron or stock pot for cooking gumbo in

I've found cooking in a heavy duty pot gives better, more consistent results with less hands on time. Thin pots tend to burn or stick much easier and require more stirring and hands on time for good results.

Agreed. I use a 4 mm thick 9 quart copper stew pot for normal amounts of gumbo, and a 16 quart magnalite when I'm making more.
