Since they dont seem to make ultra light aluminum pots anymore, Ive been periodically browsing the thrift shops to see if I could locate a cheap, light 6qt aluminum pot.
Today, I happened upon this:
Whirly pop, 6qt pot. Weighs 10.2 oz. Available at bed bath and beyond, or many other places for $20-$25.
I found a brand new one in the thrift shop for …..$3.99.
