Is it a nice heavy duty weight, want a good bottom to place on top burners to finish gravy?

Yes it is! It's a very good quality roasting pan, I use it for roasts ,I sear them on the stove top first and finish the roasts in the oven. Hope this helps!

It is a heavy gauge steel. I have not used this one on the stove top yet but when I do I will make sure the burner is not all the way up.

It is constructed very well, but might be a little thin to set right on the burners, unless the temp is kept low. The metal is fairly thick, but not as thick as a stainless steel pot/pan bottom.

I don't think this pan is made for oven top usage. However, it seems that it is made from a good quality and size of stainless steel. Perhaps you can use it at a medium to medium high settings without worry that this pan will bend. I have not seen or read in the instruction manual that this is not recommended.

The burner is very sturdy. It is strong enough to handle an iron skillet but it could get a little top heavy if the skillet is too large.

It should be, it feels really solid and you can lock the wheels. Could be a problem with the metal grate surface but you could put a shelf liner on it if there is a problem with keeping the mixer level. If you don't want to chance it you may consider a cart with a stainless steel top shelf only about $30 more for the Seville Classics SHE18321 Stainless Steel Kitchen Workstation.

I bought this to use as a table/stand for a Trager PTG pellet BBQ which weighs about 40lbs. I am not using it for that after seeing it. Just do not trust for this much weight. I am using it for a 3 burner Coleman stove, but am watching it as the table surface is very slick. Even moving a pan on stove makes the stove slide on the table.

It does not have the thick bottom layer. I use it for beer brewing and heat it with a banjo style burner which disperses the heat evenly over the pot's surface.

mine came broken and was returned so I cannot say if it would hold up to the weight of the pressure cooker. I think the grates may be too brittle or weak to hold that kind of weight.

It is made from a thin gauge metal so I would not put anything to heavy on top. Hope this helps.

Its heavy, several pounds, but the advantage is once you get it hot it stays hot as you add food or liquids. Why I find it ideal for stir frying on a home stove. a commercial stove puts out several times the btus so a simple steel wok stays hot. this iron wok helps compensate. I would contact Bayou about how much the wok actually weighs. Steven Hunn

Hi, heavy? I brought it back to Germany in the Aircraft! Steel is thick enough. To prevent corrosion the surface should not be destroyed. If you are not strong enough to lift the lid it could be an issue for you. I always roll it over the edge. The Weber is prepared for this. Rgds from Hamburg, Germany

I think the bottom diameter and the depth of this wok are just right for me ! not too big, not too small... it's a very good wok, vegetibles won't get overheat easily... just a little too heavy though

Yes, but I wouldn't call it heavy gauge (sorry, Robin!). it's not designed for cooking directly on a burner. I suspect things would burn on quickly. The bottom of the all-stainless pan is thin, so that it can function as a double-boiler (heat from boiling water in the base passes through the thinner bottom of the top pan to cook what's inside). All double-boilers are designed this way (thinner bottom on the top pan). The base pan, which is black and Teflon-lined, is definitely heavier and made for cooking on a stove top. The glass cover is nice for checking progress. I've had several double boilers in 60 years of cooking, and this one is the largest and the nicest. I got it for the extra capacity.

The grates are pretty thick and very heavy. I have found that I have to use a higher flame on this cooktop than I used on my old one. But my old cooktop was very, very old. Takes a little longer to start heating, boiling, etc. but overall it cooks wonderfully.

Yes. It's heavy duty and I would be comfortable browning meat on the cook top before putting it in the oven.

I would think that would be a bit too heavy. The grill grate is fairly heavy it's self. This is a well build grill and the post goes in the ground a good distance but that also depends on how hard the ground is too. If the ground is soft I have had the grill tilt a bit. hope this helps.

I purchased two of these burners. They are awesome by the way!!! I purchased 30 pounds of fire glass for the two. It was perfect. For one, 15 pounds should be ok. Enjoy!!!

I would not if I were you. I'd get all clad or a heavy bottom pan as they are less likely to warp and qill sit evenly on your cook surface and last longer. On that thought...a disc bottom pan would probably be ideal for you. Don't worry about clad, which is aluminum inside stainless up the side walls. I have both kinds and both work great.

Yes - I have a problem with the legs hanging through the burner grate and with the rounded bottom, it leans sideways a little. What I did do one time, placed one of those heat reducers on the burner and sat the pot on it.
