Couple of notes:
* The kettle bottom, body and lid are stainless steel and magnetic so they should work fine with an induction heater. The handles are non-magnetic, possibly aluminium
* The bottom is completely flat, which is also important for cooking with an induction cooktop
* The internal dimensions are ~10x11.5 inches, so using some basic math to solve for the volume of a cylinder we can see that the maximum volume would be about 4.5 gallons or 18 quarts (17 liters)
* The bottom is REALLY thick, a bit more than 1/2 an inch, which is great for evenly distributing heat and maintaining temperature
* The design of the kettle is quite nice, whoever made this definitely put time and effort into every detail
As for cleaning and spots on the stainless steel interior-That's what they make those scouring pads and steel wool for-put some muscle into it.
I was surprised it was even delivered in a box, by the time it got to me, it was so shredded, it barely even held together. I'm sure this is why there was a small but deep dent in the pot. The dent doesn't effect cooking though, so whatever. Also, when it arrived, it was a little squished. The opening wasn't a perfect circle, it was slightly oval, not to the eye, but the lid wouldn't fit without squishing it the other direction. I'm assuming this also happened during shipping. Using a very long bar-clamp I have, I was able to re-shape the pot to be a circle once again, the lid fits correctly now.
This is a serious pot, they need to use a serious box for shipping, even if it costs the consumer a little more. Thats my 2 cents.
Its thick base helps even heat distribution and so far I have not experienced any burnt milk. I sometimes need to heat the whey for 45 minutes at the highest heat to achieve 200 F (for ricotta making) and even at that setting, I have seen nothing getting brown or nastily sticking to the bottom.
As a part of cheese making I constantly monitor the temperature of the contents and I have not seen much difference between the bottom and the top (mixing or not mixing only makes 1F difference) which is another indication of even heat distribution.
Capacity wise: For sure it is not 20 quarts. I have comfortably worked with up to 18 quarts (without the lid) and up to 16 quarts with the lid on (at 18 quarts lid touches to the milk, which in my opinion is a design flaw.). But for me it is enough and I was sort of expecting this capacity issue based on reviews so I can not complain about it.
For cleaning, I use hand washing due to the massive size and it is not very easy but it is a price you have to pay for this size.
I can also ensure you about the quality of steel. It does not get oxidized or go gray in time; and as long as you close the lid properly, it is not an insulated pot but it can retain the interior heat for sometime (it also depends on what you have in and its specific heat value plus the mass as well as the temperature difference between outside and inside) For example: 16 quarts of milk that has been heated up to 93F can retain the inner temperature over 85 for a couple of hours.
For the price and quality, I think it was a good purchase and I recommend this item to anyone who is particularly interested in home cheese making.
