8Qt Carbon Steel Pasta Cooker / Steamer Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing is great for all foods that have to be drained after cooking.Also works well for pasta that has to be (or needs to be) rinsed in hot or cold water.The boiling pattern is much better than a regular pot with the rolling action coming from the sides instead of up through the middle. Three things I don't like...1) The handles get friggin' HOT if your heat source is not fully contained under the pot. 2) The capacity is smaller that I hoped for.The inner pot sits about 2 inches off the bottom of the pot itself, reducing capacity.Twenty-four ounces of spagetti will fill it up after cooking. 3) A bit slow to come to boil on a gas cooktop, even starting with hot tap water to begin with.Agonizingly slow if you start with cool water.The steamer insert works well, also.Non stick, a breeze to clean. I feel this is a good value for the money and would recommend it to a friend if need be.

Simply Calphalon Stainless Multipot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set to replace another pot of similar size. I figured that this would be a great deal - it's got inserts and it's from Calphalon at a great price too. The tempered glass cover fits well and is helpful because you can see inside without removing the cover although it spits when the pot is at a full and rapid boil. It's a stainless steel piece so it's not dark when you look inside like many other Calphalon pieces. The aluminum bottom is not the same as on their commercial or professional lines. It's a heavy-duty aluminum bottom attached to a stainless steel pot. Even though the pot along with the bottom is thicker and heavier than most other lines that do the same, it did not heat up like other Calphalon pieces that I own. Still, I cooked a stew at a slow simmer for six hours and it didn't burn at the bottom. A good thing.
This is the first time that I have inserts like these and I don't think much of the big insert. To cook pasta or food, you need to add an additional 2 quarts of water (the amount needed to touch the bottom of the insert) making it more time consuming to use. I will cook my pasta without the insert and may use the insert as a colander/drainer. The small insert is useful because you can steam items while boiling pasta or other items
All in all, a good pot not a great one at a great price.

Prime Pacific Pasta Cooker and Steamer set with Glass Lid and Bonus 1.5 Quart Euro Colander Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although this pot is inexpensive, I don't think it is a good value.The quality level of this pot is typical of what is found in dollar stores.The steel is so thin that I can literally buckle the side of the pot with my index finger. You are going to have to coddle this pot to keep it from getting dented up.

The steel at the base is just as thin as the sides, so heat distribution is terrible. This will not be too big an issue if you're just boiling water for pasta or steaming.But, this pot is not going to double as good stock pot.

It looks as inexpensive as it is. So, it's probably not going to flatter the decor of your kitchen.

Accordingly, I am returning this item.I think it's worth spending a little more to get something better.

Prime Pacific Stainless Steel Pasta Pot Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The small pot included in this order was of inferior quality.This was the 2nd time I had ordered it, but chose to keep the Large Pot and throw away the small pot, as it was also defective the same way it was on the first order.The nipples on the inside didn't exist and was not able to lock/close the lid.
