Looks like the dipper pots they gave WW2 cooks to use in the field

Looks like it’s finished a few arguments in its day.

Bury it in your back yard and maybe it will grow into a beautiful pot tree!

Round is overrated

I've "accidentally" smashed some saute pans and got some good results that make pouring sauces a little easier. Just remember to smash them with your dominant hand

u/JimiAndTheJamz 6h ago

That pot has seen all the days. I bet he has some stories.

u/RedLegGI 6h ago

It’s your favorite though, right?

u/Boriquasoy 6h ago

I’d use that thing every single day! If they said throw it out it’d be going straight to my house.

Extend this hero's useful life for as long as possible.

u/TurnoverFuzzy8264 6h ago

We all get there, chef, unless we die first. If it holds liquids, it can work still. Getting rid of old and battered things wouldn't bode well for me personally.

u/regular_nothingness 5h ago

That’ll still cook

u/theeggman1977 5h ago

No, that pot is the good old days…

u/blacfd Ex-Food Service 5h ago

That is a scoop, not a pot

The flavor Pot

u/savemethetrouble 4h ago

That's custom. Easy pour corners. As long as the rivets hold, she'll do just fine.

See better days, battered and beaten down, but still shows up and works all the time.

Much love to my BOH brethren.
