Got this in the local charity shop, £2 seems like a bargain.

It's made of aluminium and looks like it is about 8-9ltr capacity. Unfortunately there is no lid for it, but I'll see if I can find something to make one.
Anyone know what this pot would be for?
Cheers.

It's a jam pan. Use a gentle heat, my sister melted hers. :yikes:

Bought the one on the right, thermos king 1.2l. Cracking vacuum flask. Primed and filled with boiling water at 9 o'clock last night. At dinner time today made a piping hot coffee and some noodles. Impressed.

Then I 'accidentally' bought the other one today. Will test that one tonight.

Like Ged said its a Jam pan (jeelie / jelly pan in Scots parlance) and I've never seen or heard of a lid for one. You need to keep an eye on the jammy alchemy so no lid.
