Bayou Classic 1000 Handcrafted 100-qt Aluminum Bayou Boiler Features Heavy-Duty Riveted Handles Reinforced Boiling Basket w/ Helper Handle Made w/ Heavy Gauge Aluminum

This is the second pot I ordered after hosting a crawfish boil with my first pot. The guest list got bigger and the amount of crawfish got bigger as well. These pots handle very well and with a proper burner they heat up quite quickly as well. My only complaint is that the lid is very fragile. It is made of thin material and if dropped or banged into something it easily dents . I already have several dents on the rim on my lids and cannot get a proper seal when boiling water.

This pot saves me time and propane when cooking multiple sacks. This pot easily fits a full sack of crawfish and a large amount of sides together. The pot itself is well made and easy to clean. One thing to keep in mind/plan for is, it’s very heavy when emptying after cook. If you cook a lot of crawfish this is a must have.

very nice boiling pot. Easy to clean and gets the job done !

So I tried my hand at my very first crawfish boil this past Memorial weekend. I have been a guest to plenty of boils in the past, but this was my first time running the show. Apparently, the rule of thumb is twice as many quarts to pounds of crawfish. I wanted to boil 50lbs of bugs, so I needed a 100 quart pot. This one fits the bill. It's functional, well built, and the strainer basket has a hook on the bottom for resting on the edge of the pot. This isn't a complicated piece of equipment, so a more thorough review would almost be pointless, but suffice to say it's as good or better than expected.

Pot is great. Light weight for its size which is an advantage when trying to handle full. Only issue for me is that the handles have really sharp edges. Dont know if quality control missed it or if this is the norm. Used a dremil to grind down the sharp edges on handles.

I bough the 60 Qt version a few years back for our summer crawfish boil. Well, it finally kicked the bucket after years of abuse and improper storage. I needed another so I went with the larger version. IT IS WORTH THE UPGRADE. Previously, it would take 3-4 batches to boil 40-60 lbs of crawfish, now it only takes 1-2. It is worth the time saving. More time to chow down! You can also fit more extras in there.

I have only used one time but feels more solid than I expected for the price. I have several produces, cookers, etc from this company and they have all been decent for the price. They are not high end. However, the appear to last as I have had my other products for several years now.

Ok, so we’ve been steaming bushels of crabs since I was a little girl in my daddy’s old stainless steel pot. We needed another one so I decided to get this. First, this pot is not as heavy as my dad’s so I wasn’t sure about my purchase. However, it is very large (my 10 year old son can get in it). The first time I used it I was impressed. It held all of my seafood (crabs, lobster, shrimp, 5 lb bag of potatoes, and corn) with room to spare! It was easy to pick up and pour out as well. I will see how it holds up but for now I love this pot!!
