I don't know how I lived this long without it. Not only is it super handy, but it doesn't take up much room on the stove. The perfect shape and size for sauces, cooked cereal, and soup. It's also the perfect gift for any cook serious or not.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, quality, easy to use, even cooking, construction, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, easy to store, durability, Functional/Useful, capacity

My Favorite Chai Pot

fromWashington DC
What a great little pot! The odd (deep) shape makes it wonderful for making Chai, as the boil-over is less likely in smaller quantities than in a regular, low saucepan. Love that it has two sizes of straining holes on the lid. The handle really does stay cool, which amazed me. Comes to a boil fast. Love this pot for this use. More than I would pay for such a light weight pot, but the design makes up for it.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Stay-cool handle, quality, Material, easy to use, Heat distribution, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, easy to store, Functional/Useful, capacity
Cons: Expensive/ Price

This is definitely a pot with many advantages. Creative lid, contemporary handle and just the right size for boiling a few potatoes, rice, veg, sauces, etc. I haven't put it away yet. I have recomended it to many of my friends and look forward to many years of fun with this one.

They Just Keep Getting Better

I didn't realize that my favorite brand of cookware includes this little beauty! I have a small collection of the saucepans with the strainer lids, which I love! They are my favorite of all time! I am excited to add this one to my collection. It's got a surprisingly large capacity. With the pour spout and the strainer lid, there's isn't anything you can't do with it. And when you are finished, it just goes in the dishwasher! It can literally go from stovetop to table. I bought this one for myself, but it would make a great gift, too. It's impossible to find this brand in local stores. Do yourself a favor and order it from Chefs!
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, Stay-cool handle, easy to use, multi-purpose, Tight-fitting lid, Appearance/ Design /Style, easy to store, durability, Functional/Useful, Long-lasting, capacity

Love this little pot with its tight fitting lid. Perfect for our household now that there is only two of us. Would be great for a single household to use as well. It is attractive and easy to store.

I bought this little pot as a "Thank You" gift for an amazing intern, liked it enough to immediately buy another for myself and as another gift. When my intern (college student) opened it, I think it spurred at least two more sales in our office!
I use it for cooking sushi rice or soup for two. It is a fantastic little workhorse of a pot!

I have only had this item for 10 days and have found it to be one of the most useful pieces of kitchen equipment that I own. Had a family party last weekend and about five different people including my son-in-law who is a professional chef & caterer commented on the many uses for this product. With birthdays & Christmas coming up, I will be ordering more of these to give as gifts. A great addition to all kitchens.

As much as I loved this pot as far as size, the strainer in the lid and measurement lines, the inside cooking surface oxidized in the dishwasher, discolored and pitted after two uses. I am calling customer service tomorrow and returning this. I am disappointed.
Cons: Quality

This pot has many different functions that make it a kitchen "must"! I am so glad I ordered it, I keep it on top of the stove for cooking, mixing, heating and all types of pouring chores. It not only is extremely handy, it looks great. I love the handle because it make pouring so easy and fits a woman or man's hand. I have seen this pot in the catalog for awhile, but just gifted it to myself recently. I love it!

I wanted a multi-purpose pot that is well made with many features and this pot fills the bill! The size is perfect, the measure marks on the inside are so handy and the strainer top makes it so easy to make small amounts of pasta or veggies without using a separate colander. It is also extremely well made and fits right in with my other high end pots and pans.

I went to cooking school 42 years ago, although I did not peruse work in culinary arts I do pride myself on having nothing but high quality, functional kitchen equipment, not gadgets but stuff that works. This does not mean I have spent a fortune on equipment, a black cast iron pan is as functional for me as an all-clad copper bottom pan. This Pot has passed my litmus test for the kitchen, it is of high quality, very functional, and as far from a gadget as you can get. This is built for a lifetime of use. Right up my ally, thanks.

This highly innovative little gem may be the most useful pot we have in the kitchen:
* Glass lid with two sizes of vent/drain holes.
* Internal measuring lines in metric & US
* Tri-ply base for even heat
* Compact size for easy storage
It's hard to believe that the major manufacturers of cookware weren't the ones to come up with this very creative and useful design concept.
Pros: Heat distribution, multi-purpose, construction, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, easy to store, Functional/Useful

I find this Multi Pot to be the most useful pot I own.
I have used it for soup because it is easy to pour and also for steaming because it has a top and circulation. I would love a smaller pot just like it.

I got one of these for Christmas. It lives on my stove and replaces my tea kettle. I use it to boil tea water, cook the morning oatmeal, boil eggs, warm up soup- it's always there and it doesn't take up much space. Perfect for my 2 adult household. The handle doesn't get hot, the lid is great for straining, and it's easy to see if the water is boiling yet. What more could one ask for?
Pros: Stay-cool handle, easy to use, construction, Performs Well, Functional/Useful
