Special Notice:
The manufacturer has changed the style of the lid on this item. They are in the process of changing over to the new style lid which will be flat instead of dome shaped and will not be vented. In order to keep our prices as low as possible, we ship these items directly from the manufacturer to our customers.
Please be advised that they are in the process of switching from the old style lid to the new style lid as their inventory is depleted and we have no way of knowing which style lid you will receive with your pot. This change in lids is so new that the manufacturer has not supplied us with current photos showing the new lid design. We apologize for this inconvenience.
So please be forewarned that you could very well receive the new flat, non-vented lid with your order as opposed to what you see in the photo and description shown above.

Our Bayou Classic 34 quart fryer / steamer stockpots are made of commercial grade aluminum (99% Aluminum).  Bayou Classic's aluminum stockpots are your better brand of aluminum stockpots compared to other local brands of aluminum stockpots.  The difference between these aluminum stockpots and other known brands of aluminum stockpots are the thickness.  With your other brands, you'll find that their aluminum stockpots may be thick around the sides of the stockpot, however, test the bottom.  The bottom of the aluminum stockpot is paper thin.  After a few uses with a high powered burner, the bottom of your pot will begin to disintegrate or burn through.  With a Bayou Classic aluminum stockpot, the thickness in the pot is the same all the way through. . . even the bottom.  

This 34 quart fryer / steamer stockpot kit includes a boil basket and vented lid.  Use Bayou Classic’s stockpots to boil large amounts of seafood, soups and other great southern dishes.  The basket sets approximately 3.25 inches above the bottom for steaming and boiling.

Use the basket in your stockpot for deep frying chicken, fish or hushpuppies; steaming or boiling seafood, clams and vegetables.  Uses without the stockpot basket include boiling soups, stews, gumbo, jambalaya and low country boil.  Our stockpots are perfect for the beginner to intermediate Cajun cooks who love to boil Louisiana’s favorite dish . . . crawfish!  These stockpots are also perfect for use when hosting a clam bake.

Complimenting a true outdoorsman's own personality, these pots are durable, reliable and VERSATILE.
