Product Description:
Now multi-cookers are available in a wide variety of materials and configurations, and there is also variation in terms of price. It pays to compare, as you will perhaps be happier in the long run with a well-made quality pot that was moderately priced vs. the cheapest thing you could find. This pot from Calphalon offers not just heavy 18/10 stainless steel construction, but also an aluminum disk base, a tempered glass lid, and two steaming inserts. Use the big one for cooking and draining pasta, use the smaller one for steaming fish, veggies or chicken. This also makes a fab pot for making stock, soup, or marinara sauce in bulk.
Amazon.com Review:
Ideal for myriad cooking options, this four-piece set is sturdily madeof 18/10 stainless steel. Key to the set's versatility is an 8-quart pot with analuminum disk in its bottom to conduct heat quickly and uniformly. With orwithout its tempered-glass lid, the pot can be used for simmering soup or stockand for cooking beef stew or pasta sauce. Two steamer inserts come along, ashallow one for steaming vegetables, fish fillets, or pieces of poultry and adeep one for cooking pasta or steaming lots of vegetables. The entire set isdishwasher-safe, and the aluminum disk in the pot's bottom is fully enclosed instainless steel for a uniform look and easy cleanup. The inserts are highlypolished, while the pot has a contemporary brushed-steel exterior with amirror-finish band under the rim. The set carries a 10-year warranty againstdefects. --Fred Brack

- Calphalon 8-Quart Multi Pot Set
Perfect for the reasons I purchased it, cooking pasta and steaming veggies.With the pasta insert I can steam a whole head of cauliflower and a big head or two of broccoli all at the same time.I also like that I can cook pasta, linguine, drain the water and replace the pasta insert with linguine back in pot, put the glass lid on and it stays warm in pot.Also, great for corn on the cob.I haven't used the smaller steamer insert at all.I don't use the pot for soups or stews, I have a Calphalon ...

Rating: - WHAT A GREAT POT!
This pot is excellent quality. A little hard to clean and for some reason the dishwasher leaves spots on the bottom. I do recommend it though. Easy storage but you need a tall space.
Rating: - Versatile kitchen tool
Excellent stock pot with heavy bottom and clear lid to review cooking progress.Steam baskets add versitility.
Rating: - Works great!
This is a great set. The bottom of the sauce pan is plenty thick for browning and sauteing. Each part fits together well. The pasta strainer lifts out easily (but don't over-fill with water when cooking pasta or it will boil over), and the folding inner handles on the steamer basket are handy. Highly recommended.
Rating: - 8QT. STOCK/PASTA POT
VERY large stock pot. You can cook a lot of things in this, but as a pasta cooker I have to agree with other reviews.....it's better to use without the strainer. You need ALOT of water to fill, and you can only cook maybe 1.5 lbs. of pasta because of the strainer. It also takes about 25 minutes to come to boil on a gas stove with the lid on. Not good for small pasta cooking. Unfortunately not using the strainer negates the purpose of this pot. This is the ONLY reason I purchased this item in the first ... Read More
