Stock pot recommendations

Options
Hi,

Can anybody recommend a non-stick stock pot, please? Just looking for something big enough to make stews, chillies, soups, etc. Don't really want to spend more than £15-£20. Is it safe to cook with aluminium? So far, I've found these, but have no idea if they're any good:

Thanks :)

    I have this one from IKEA and really like it - it's the right size for 4-5 portions of soup, or stock from 1 chicken. Check the volume to make sure it's big enough.

    Thanks to everyone who posts freebies and comps! :j
  • Have you considered saving a bit more money and investing in a pressure cooker?
    You could use it as a large saucepan without the lid, but making stock in a PC is very fast plus you could do a zillion other things in it too.
