HAPPY NATIONAL GUMBO DAY!!!
Looking to buy new cookware/pot to cook gumbo in.
What size is recommended? What is the best pot under $200?
Typically cook for small parties of 10-15 people.
Respond with a link to your favorite suggestion(s). Thanks in advance!

10-15 person jambalaya is going to need to be big. I have a #8 cast iron and I fill it up with jambalaya, serving maybe 8

go to KATOM restaurant supply (or like)online. look at aluminum stock pots. I bought one each from 1 gal to 5 gal 1/4" thick with lid. covers everything I could possibly want to cook and is indestructible and will still be around for my kids to fight over when I'm dead and gone.

For big groups, I use Tramontina 24qt with the super thick bottom. Indestructible. Also make stock, soups, stews--anything really--in this pot. Looks to be about $150 online right now.
For household size gumbos, I use a 7.5 qt Staub oval dutch oven.
Outside of granny's old, perfect cast iron skillet, I cook pretty much everything in the above two pots. Love them both.

Any pot that's at least 12qt is good. Material does not matter. Aluminum, steel, cast iron, it will all cook gumbo the same.

Serious question what is the obsession with Magnalite?
Price, Quality, Material, Novelty?
If I find a pot I will buy to try out just because of this board

Seems like most kitchens in The south had Magnalite and cast iron, if pieces of both brands in their kitchen. They hold/distribute heat well, and will last for generations if they’re well taken care of. The new pots aren’t quite the same Quality as the pots from the 40’s - 70’s, but they’re still a good buy

I use the hell out of my McWare and find no difference in it and an old school original Magnalite.

I think it's because if you're from Louisiana your grandma had Magnalite pots, black iron pots, and black iron skillets. We just grew up with them.
My favorite pots are cheap restaurant quality cookware. It's good enough for the professionals and those guys sure as hell aren't paying $300 for a damned pot.

Yeah same. I know a few pro chefs. I asked for a knife rec and they told me either Victorinox or Dexter. They said no ones using high dollar knives in a working kitchen. They also not using high copper coated clad cast enamel porcelain coated stainless pots either.

Fissler original profi, Paderno grand gourmet, or Lacour chef luxe in whatever size works for you.
