answers please.
Edit : So I probably should have been more specific . Im looking for a big cooking pot , not one of those factory mixing tanks lol. I guess something that is about the size of about 100 Litres
Someone here suggested I speak to a black smith about it an I honestly have no Idea how to even begin contacting blacksmiths in toronto. If you can let me know then please do. I do have a couple things Im willing to pay to have welded , this pot included. But my biggest questions to the blacksmith would be:
-
'How do I determine the 'quality' of the steel thst is being used? What the hell is 'steel quality' anyways? can it be quantified or is it qualitatively determined or both?
-
I am looking for steel that could almost last me a lifetime so any ideas as to what I should evem begin to research about when it comes to steel like this? ?
-
' Im looking for steel that is resistant to water and hot water for the pot that I need welded and then I am looking for steel that is resitant to sweat and external forces (both horizontal and vertical) for this pull up station I need welded where can I research what types of steels I need for these two types of products?

I'm not familiar with Canadian law, but I think people from Toronto are allowed to buy pots just as big as the rest of us can.
I'm not a lawyer, though.

Lots of restaurant supply stores in that city. You’ll have to go in person but you’ll find big ones there.

Go to a restaurant supply store. They'll have a stock pot that large.

You need to contact a catering supply company, ie for restaurants and such, here's one a 2 minute Google found:

In addition to the good suggestions here check commercial restaurant kitchen equipment suppliers. There are plenty of things to contact a blacksmith about but a pot isn't one of them in my mind.... maybe if you want a hand hammered cauldron but.... it is going to be vastly cheaper to find something commercially available ESPECIALLY with stainless steel... I don't know any blacksmiths working with stainless steel. I dunno how I got on about stainless steel... magnetism is an easy way to roughly check grades of stainless... what you want depends on your requirements

Honestly go to the kitchen supply store in Chinatown on Spadina, they have everything. Last time I went there looking for a cleaver they had a dozen different kinds.
some_designer_dude@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 4d
Tap Phong. And yes, they have large pots. Like half-a-wine-barrel-sized pots. And not even expensive. Favourite store in the city.

We only allow people from Toronto to buy ceramic pots due to the reason

Just two cents:
In the us the biggest pots I've seen for cooking - they were always at an Asian supermarket. Some of them were enormous woks, but they had big cookpots also.
I would also look into camp fire pots, that you have to hang from a tall tripod - those can be really big also.
CombatWombat@feddit.online · 6 pts · 4d
I’m sure you have a local blacksmith who accepts commissions, so… really, really big?

psud@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 3d
The type of steel is 304 stainless steel, it's what all shiny pots are made of. I don't think a blacksmith is the right person though
Also though you could get one custom built it'll be more expensive than a mass market one
snoons@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 4d
My first thought would be a kitchen supply store like a WholeSale club, if there's one in Toronto. I bet you could probably order larger pots direct from the manufacturer of said pots too.
AFAIK steel quality is more about use case then any type that is best overall; so, I would think all pots are made out of the same type of steel and it isn't something you should be worried about. That being said, anything made of steel could last a lifetime if you take care of it and avoid throwing it into a volcano.
There's lists out there that ...list each types proclivities or at least there were before ai fucked everything. Some types are more resistant to corrosion then others but softer, some more brittle but keep an edge longer, etc.

Does it need to be forged in one piece? Because if you are fine with it being welded together, the limit is based on how high of a scaffolding we can build. I guess you can go as high (and the height also as width, assuming you want a standard shaped pot) as the Burja Khalifa (or however that was written). But it may be quite expensive.

Do you have a way to heat a pot that big?

Torontonians need not limit themselves in potential; they simply require belief and steely resolve
solrize@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 4d
100 litres isn't that big. Mexican grocery stores (I mean big ones, not bodegas) around here have them. Look at restaurant supply places too. Or Amazon if you must.

iSnt 100 liitres about a third of a bath tub? Thats kind of big , no?
solrize@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 4d
It's a large pot, yes, but not so big as to be hard to find or to consider custom fabrication. Web search found lots right away. Restaurants use them.
Zarobi@aussie.zone · 0 pts · 4d
Doing a similar search result I found one for 100qt which is about 95 litres. I live in Australia though so you'll have to do your own web search for Toronto. But I'm sure they exist!
I used to have a 100L pot for cooking down fruit in cherry season into candy. We had an orchard. Just be aware that once it's full of water, it's extremely heavy. Like, probably close to 80kg. You will need both hands. Get one with sturdy handles. I would be a bit worried about the handles of the one I sent you, but I can't remember where I got my pot lol

Tap Phong in downtown Toronto may not have them on their website but if you called they would have better idea of what they have on their shelves.

Home brewing equipment comes in sizes up to ~80L that plug into normal household power, and any size bigger than that on less normal power. Similar size stuff can be pretty easily gotten anywhere designed to be heated externally.
Do you need a pot designed to be filled with a 5kW pump and whose top is reached by ladder?
UnequalExchange@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 4d
Nah just a pot thst is about half the size of a bath tub and is resistant to long term contact with water and warm water and that thats it

This is the homebrewing machine I use for beer making: https://morebeer.com/products/brewzilla-grain-brewing-system-gen-41-integrated-pump-includes-wort-chiller-wifi-bluetooth-rapt-65l-171g-220v?_pos=2&_psq=brewzilla&_psid=a03555714&_ss=e
Though I use the 240V version. A 24L extension increases it to ~90L
It has a circulating pump that moves hot water from the bottom near the elements to the top which is useful in beer making.
The next size up is 100L with the same features, but it isn't listed on the American supplier's store: https://kegland.com.au/products/brewzilla-100l-gen-4?_pos=5&_psq=Brewzilla&_psid=6c42baf96&_ss=e
Both of these have parts available to turn them into stills.
These are PID temperature controlled, so could be used to sous vide an entire sheep
