5 Quart Pasta Pot with Strainer Lid, Multipurpose Stock Pot Spaghetti Pot, PFOA free, Three-layer Non-stick coating, Dishwasher Safe, Tempered Glass Lockable Lid, Cast Aluminium, Grey

Update: I'm happy to report that 4 months in, this thing still works as good as day 1, no sticks and boils, stirfry, etc anything easily. I don't even use any oil for browning my ground meat anymore and have had 0 problems! Highly recommended!I've been looking for something like this as I cook pasta fairly frequently, but there are so many similar models on the market with various quality and reviews that it was hard to decide on one. This one seemed to be quite good compared to the rest, so I went with this. I was worried that it was going to be too small as I occasionally cook 2 pounds of pasta at once, but I didn't want to get the 8.5 qt as I felt it was way too big. I'm happy to report that even the 5 qt has plenty of room for 2 pounds of pasta. The pot is sufficiently wide and deep that you can submerge 1 pound of pasta without much water at all, resulting in faster cooking time (because less water means faster boil). Overall I'm really happy with the purchase and it is a sure upgrade to my kitchen!Pros:-Lock feature works very well. The way it is designed, I can't imagine the lid slipping off while I am draining the water-The pot is deep which allows you to boil pasta easily.-I had no issues stir frying ground meat in the pot as well with a small amount of oil and there was no issues with food sticking to the pot.-I was able to boil water quickly even on a small 1000w hot plate (electric) burner.-While the handle does get pretty hot if you are boiling pasta for 10-15+min, I found it wasn't scalding hot. At least I had no issues draining the water without using any mittens or cloth. If your hands are sensitive to heat, you may want to use mittens though.Cons:-Using the handle is a bit finnicky due to how stubby and how it shifts between locking and unlocking position. It is not a big issue, but sometimes you just want to grip the handle to keep the pot in place while stirring food and it is a bit weird.-For the same reason, washing the pot by hand in the sink was slightly awkward for the same reason. I don't think the handle will break or anything as it seems super sturdy and didn't creak or anything like that. However, I do find that I will lock and unlock the handle naturally while holding it to clean the pot. I hope it won't be a problem long term, but given how simple the mechanism is, I don't expect it to be.

I received the larger one for a Christmas present and, after using that a few times knew that I had to buy the "baby" right away! The pots are so well made, sturdy, and very nice looking, the lid locks very securely and I noticed that each strainer side has different-sized holes for different food items. These are used daily in my house, they clean up so easily and I love the non-stick element for rice, and pot casserole-type dishes.

My favorite feature is how easy is it to clean. The leftover pasta doesn't stick to the pot at all. You can easily slide it all off rather than having to chip away at it.It's the perfect size for serving up to 4 people. If you need to make a large amount, you'll want a larger pot.The strainer works great. The handle lock works great. Overall it's just a quality product that works as advertised.

Love this style ,, cooking great ,,, good quality ,,,But handles is hot,, I have to wear oven mitts to pick it up , I should pick out long handles so I don’t to use oven mitts instead of short handles ,, out of all very nice

Love it!!!

This is heavy duty and non stick. Plus it works well on my induction cook top

I just got a new stove with induction stovetop so I had to buy new pots and pans. I wanted a bigger pot for family gatherings and this is perfect. I love the top because you can drain whatever you are cooking without burning for fingers. This is perfect and it matches my other new pots and pans perfectly. Geat buy!

Love this pot. Easy to clean. Cooks food evenly and the size is awesome for larger meals. Oh yeah, the strainer is a plus too.I need another one. Just smaller. Like a 5 quart.
