Need a new gumbo pot - Help!
Posted on 10/26/20 at 8:04 pm

I need some suggestions on types, brands, and size for a new gumbo pot. We're not feeding an army, so I was thinking a 7-10 qt dutch oven... Let me know if I'm heading in the right direction. TIA

I use my 15qt Le Creuset Dutch oven when making gumbo and it works well. Plenty big to feed a lot of people too.

I like a heavy aluminum commercial stock pot (like quarter inch walls) twice as large as what I want to cook so it's not right up to the lip and I can stir without making a mess. You can get smaller ones that aren't 5 gallons for like 20 or 30 bucks. Hit up a restaurant supply house and remember that the vast majority of the professionals aren't using 300 dollar pots.

Is a dutch oven the way to go?

I’m not going to claim to be a gumbo expert, all I can say is it works for me.

I see someone has never set foot in a TJ Maxx. Sometimes you get lucky and they have Le Creuset on the cheap.

I'd go with a 12 qt All Clad stock pot with the strainer insert.

Wait really? I have one of those and have never used it for gumbo. That's my go-to stock pot.

I love it. Make the stock with the strainer in and then cook the gumbo in the pot.

I use a cast rim Dutch oven however, if I do need to make more than my such oven I pull out my commercial ”restaurant supply” 1/2” thick aluminum pot. I have a few large commercial thick pots I use often. I can do the same and more with thick aluminum pots than use magnetite.

I use a stock pot. Make a roux in my Creuset then mix with the stock in the stock pot. What do all you folks need gumbo pots for?

Go with a dutch oven. Very good for braising as well

Whatever you decide on I would go for a bit larger than 7qt. When I cook a normal sized gumbo it is right at the top the pot and I usually end up pouring it into a 10qt stock pot. I would say a 9-10qt would be sufficient.
