Customer Reviews for VEVOR Maple Syrup Evaporator Pan 36x24x9.5 Inch Stainless Steel Maple Syrup Boiling Pan with Valve

just starting to process maple syrup and this paired with a 2 burner propane cooktop worked great

Je l’ai utilisé pour faire mon sirop d’érable !

Works great, wish top edges were rolled for strength, and to take the sharpness out. Does the job. Thank you. Wally.

Had some issues with parts of the evaporator initially, but they worked with me to make this right. Impressed with their response and willingness to do what was needed to make everything all right.

Just not what we needed, item returned.

Nice craftsmanship. Quality built. But the center divider does not touch the bottom of the pan.

Used to boil cider. I would prefer a side vs end drain, but it worked

This pan suited my needs pretty well and the price was reasonable. One issue I had was the thermometer port was too high. Boiling sap works best when the level is maintained at about 2". The thermometer port was above that level, so I drilled and installed a bulkhead port lower to allow the probe to be about the 1" depth.

Just used my 2' wide x 3' long x 9" deep evaporator yesterday for the first time. It worked great! No leaks in any of the welds or valves. I did check it a month ago by filling it with water to make sure it didn't leak, but I was still concerned what would happen once it was heated on the fire. No issues! I have been using three deep stainless steel steam pans for the past three few years, which worked well, but I wanted to take my sugaring hobby to the next level. What a difference! So much more efficient. I boiled down 45 gallons of sap in about 5 hours or so. It comes with the3/4" draw-off ball valve which I added a 4" extender to and elbow (all 304 food-grade stainless steel) to get me past my cinder block setup and help control to draw off. It also comes with an additional 1/2" ball valve for the other hole, but I added a thermostat instead. Highly recommend this pan for the backyard hobbyist. It is shipped very well with a great deal of rigid foam packing and thick cardboard to avoid damage in the shipping process. It did come a little dirty from the welding process, so make sure you clean yours well before use. "Sugar on.........!"

Nice pan but it is not 1.5mm thick, it's only 1mm thick.
