Useful but.....
October 25, 2007 Joanne70from Allenstown, New Hampshire
"I too agree with the first reviewer, MOMMYBELL, you need to use lots of water to use the pot for pasta and by doing that it will "spit" water onto you stovetop while the pasta is cooking in the past insert. I still use it for pasta but very carefully. I love the steamer insert and I love the size of the pot. I can cook a New England Boiled dinner or Corned Beef and Cabbage with room to spare. I have other Stainless All-Clad pieces and this one is made well but keep in mind if you are looking for all stainless, this is brushed stainless on the pot as shown in the picture. The lid and the inserts are the shiny stainless. That doesn't bother me because I was looking for a good quality All-Clad piece that I didn't have to mortgage my house! I am happy with my purchase and would recommend."

Fabulous Bargain
April 1, 2008 tatwoodfrom Northampton, MA
"This very functional pot is beautifully made, as expected from All-Clad. And yes, of course, the insert is not useful for cooking a small amount of pasta, as common sense would indicate. However, the insert IS ideal for many other uses - I make up large batches of chicken stock to freeze and the insert works beautifully when it's time to remove the bones and vegetables; also perfect for lobsters and crab legs. It was invaluable when I had to cook rigatoni for a crowd, and the steamer insert is ideal for artichokes and other vegetables. Used without either insert, this makes a lovely all-around large stockpot; I consider it indispensable at an excellent price."

A nice piece to have!
November 9, 2007 SandyDfrom SE Michigan
"I also agree with MOMMYBELL and Joanne70 -- it's not the best way to cook an average amount of pasta. However, if you're making a large batch, it's a nice thing to have. It's also great as a large-size stock pot, and when cooking corn on the cob or steaming crab legs, you can't beat it. I'd buy it again."

Great pot but has its caveats
October 19, 2007 MOMMYBELLfrom Pittsfield, MA
"This pot is billed as a multicooker. I love the style, weight and the even heat usage. I am however confused by the pasta part. My family is at the shrinking stage so pasta consumption is minimal. I find I have to put so much water into the pot to use the big strainer that it would be easier and more cost effective to use the pot with out the pasta inset. You see the large lip on the pasta inset means that is sits very high inside the main pot. As for steaming vegetables in the smaller inset that works wonderfully. The pot can also be used as a stock pot and works well for that too. This was I lot of money to avoid dumping my pasta into a colander. Oh well It works in other ways."
