Well made n easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This steamer/cooker is good quality and easy to setup. I like that's simple to setup by setting up the pot and the base together fits like a glove and the gas connector also is easy to snap n secure. The pot is heavy not a light weight steamer/cooker.

Incredible for Seafood Boils
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really live this Bayou 60 quart steamer and have used it four times already to perfection. It takes under thirty minutes to come to full boil and with the basket about four inches from the bottom, works great for steaming too. I was able to fit almost twenty crabs in it, perfect for the first time. And plenty of room the next time for a mix with corn and potatoes for a true boil. Cleanup is very easy and the casing seems to be holding up really well. Will also be trying for canning as well as making a large batch of tomato sauce for a function coming up. The size is perfect and uses almost minimal propane. Great product all around.

Cooks great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bayou Classic KDS-160 60 Quart Stainless Boil Steamer Cooker and Basket Kit works great! This is great for cooking for a lot of people. The quality of this is amazing! This comes with everything you need to get to cooking , except propane! So far I have used it to cook low country boils and shrimp boils! I find it cleans out pretty well too. It has a high pressure regulator that powers 100,000 BTUs from the burner. I love this and would definitely recommend it!

Delicious!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made the best crawfish cookout spread I have ever made with this cooker kit. It far exceeding my expectations by going off how fresh it came out. Everyone absolutely loved it and found it very delicious. I can't wait to use it more! Very easy cleanup, too! Highly recommended!

Crab boil love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bayou classic OMG is the absolute best for making crab boils. I had never fixed one until receiving this. Great size and durability made enough to feed a family of 5 and then some. I love it and have since recommended to family members for a great purchase! Will definitely be using it often!

High quality and sturdy pot for seafood!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very sturdy setup for your seafood feast. The stand is well made and can handle a full load in the pot with ease. The pot handles are also very sturdy when dumping if you wish to not use the pull out basket. I have been able to get a half bushel of large male blue crabs in it with some room left on top. I haven’t tried more than 8 dozen yet. I’ve also done a layered boil with shrimp, potatoes, and corn for 10 people and only had to cook one pot full for everyone. That’s nice when you’re the one on the steamer and want to eat!

Love this cooker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this setup about a month ago and I really love it. The pot is a great size for boiling seafood and the basket is perfect for taking the food out of the boiling water. Was very easy to hook up and has a nice even flame

I Love It!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Bayou Classic 62-qt cooker kit. And I know it’s 62 qt but at the time I had no idea of how big it was. It’s huge! It’s easy to put together. And the stockpot is a very great quality alone. It’s made thick and heavy. The basket is also thicker than I thought it would be. Overall I’m highly satisfied. I have always wanted one for some outdoor cooking during holidays and family gatherings. And it’s the best thing I’ve ever gotten. I cleaned it up outdoors after using it because of how big it is. It cooks evenly so far. And I put the burner on low to help keep it warm. I’m excited to see what else I can do with my cooker kit.

Love this kit!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely adore this cooker kit. I plan on using this for so many things. I can do a sea food boil, fry a turkey, and make tamales. It is huge! It’s nice to cook it all outside too. I plan on using this a lot.

Creme de la creme
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Woah! I'm not sure where to start with this beauty. I am in awe of how big and strong this stainless steel pot is. It literally stole the show at our back to school crab fest. It held a boatload of seafood meaning less times going back and forth. The set up was easy. The instructions were clear. It brought ico cold water to a rolling boil in about 10 minutes. The quality of the pot ensures that it will be around for years to come. I had to order the paddle to make sure I didn't get burned. I would suggest after it cools down to wash immediately as the seasonings used might pit the pot. I would have like this to have a pull of some sort to lift the pot. It was heavy without the food and even heavier with the food. I needed assistance to lift it. Overall amazing food was cooked and the pot got a lot of attention. Love love love it.

Absolutely wonderful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the Bayou Classic KDS-182 Stainless Steel 82 Quart Seafood and Crawfish Cooker, and my husband is in love with it. We had gotten a couple of different ones before, but my husband just didn't think that they worked all that well. He has not stopped bragging about how great it is and will invite everyone he talks to, to come over and he will cook for them using it. I would definitely recommend.

Great crawfish boiling set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did a test run on the crawfish boiling Set since it’s not crawfish season yet it is too hot to cook outside right now. The 82qt pot is well made and a very nice size with out help. The pot was easy to clean. It’s bigger than our old pot and will fit a sack of crawfish and instead of a half sack. The burner is light enough that I can move it around without help. Can’t wait for crawfish season and it gets cold enough to cook gumbo so I can use it again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my husbands new favorite outside cooking tool! It works very well and seems to be very good quality. Perfect size for our Louisiana cookouts and hopefully will be using it for a long time to come. Definitely would recommend if you are in the market for one.

Love it best product ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i bought this to steam Maryland crabs and everything went great. The drop in basket sits almost 3 inches off of the bottom of the pot so there is plenty of room for the beer/vinegar/water mixture. The basket will hold 4 dozen 6" crabs or steam 3 dozen and leave room for the corn on the cob. The burner works great and takes less than 10 minutes to get a rolling steam going with about 2" of liquid in the pot. Drop in the crabs(basket)and steam them 25-30 minutes and they will come out perfect! The stainless steel looks great and is extremely easy to clean up afterwards. This did excellent at getting up to boil quickly. More importantly it returned to a boil quickly after adding frozen crab legs. Did a low country boil for ten people. We ended up with twice as much food as needed and there was plenty of room for more food in the pot. The jet burner made QUICK work of bringing the pot to a boil! Expected 45 minutes to an hour to get to a boil but it seem like 10 minutes. It boiled faster than we could get everything together to toss into the pot. Its great! Absolutely amazing pot and set up. Perfect burger works excellent no complaints. I would definitely recommend it best one I’ve used in owned by far.

An Excellent Cooker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooker is amazing! It was so easy to use. The 62 quart stock pot gives ample room to boil lots of yummy seafood. The basket is great and made food removal so easy. The burner cooked things evenly and I couldn't love this any more. I look forward to seafood boils for years to come. It seems very sturdy and built to last. It's a big boy so you do need a dedicated space to store it. If you have a large garage with shelves or a storage shed, you may have to use one of these options.
