I have slowly been collecting equipment for my my 3v system & have purchased 2 x 50l stainless pots which were supposedly 18/10 food grade stainless. I have had these in storage for almost 12 months while ive been saving for my other items. I got my burner early last week & thought ill crank this baby up and see how long it takes to reach certain temps and how good of a rolling boil i can get i can get. Anyway probably about 15mins into the boil i get these lines appearing on the inside base of my pots.
Have a look and tell me what you think but it looks to me as if the base has been sandwiched together by strips of metal then spun to smooth out.
These are of the inside of the pot while/after draining the water.
