In what are you making/warming your stock?

A stock pot. But the stock has to be strained. It's easier to transfer one thing than two.

Method one:
1. Strain out the stock then transfer back to stock pot.
2. Cook roux/trinity and move to stock pot.

Method two:
1. Ladle the stock over a strainer directly into a large pot where roux and trinity are cooking.

Method two seems much easier.
