Product Description
Calphalon's 12qt Multipot set is the perfect pasta and soup pot that every kitchen needs! The pan features a heavy gauge aluminum base that quickly heats liquids. The pasta insert is more versatile than you might think, of course it works wonderfully for making your favorite pasta, but it is also wonderful for making your favorite stocks- simply cook with the insert in and pull out when your soup has simmered long enough and voila your stock is strained! The generous 12qt capacity is great for any size family, neither too big or too small. Remember when making pasta to use a large stockpot so that the water can flow between the pasta- if you crowd pasta into a small saucepan it tends to become sticky and gummy. 18/10 stainless construction looks great and is dishwasher safe. Heat tmepered glass lid for easy monitoring. A little helpful hint to keep your pans looking their best, clean with "Bar Keepers Friend" metal cleaner and a soft sponge (this stuff is inexpensive in most grocery stores and works great on all metals!). Safe for ceramic, glass and any surface requiring a flat bottomed pan.

An excellent Pasta Pot,

This review is from: Calphalon Complements Stainless-Steel 3-Piece 12-Quart Multipot Set (Kitchen)
This pot is excellent for cooking pasta in. I have had this pot for a few weeks now using an electric stove - it works very well and cleans very easily. It is a very large pot so make sure you have a big kitchen - I was alarmed at first sight thinking the water would take ages to boil because of the size- but the calphalon quality really makes everything in my kitchen go quite well. I cook lasagna's very often and this pot can handle plenty of noodles - in my old pot i could only handle about 10 noodles for one lasagna - but this thing can do almost triple my old pot. A worthwhile investment.

Very Nice,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Calphalon Complements Stainless-Steel 3-Piece 12-Quart Multipot Set (Kitchen)
I ran across this pot when it was part of the Friday sale and figured it was a bargain for the price. Shipping was rapid - I ordered it on a Friday using the super saver option and received it the next Tuesday (it was shipped out the same day). This is a sturdy, attractive ahd huge pot that should hold plenty of pasta or whatever else you want to put into it. Previously I had been using a much smaller pot to cook pasta and it was very frustrating trying to fit it in and also let it cook properly. With this high quality Calphalon, that will no longer be a problem. This is really nice. The only negative comment I have is that I am dubious about the retail of this being $160 like it says in the listing - my box says it is a "gift" so I suspect it was originally intended to be a bonus or premium for ordering a large set of other Calphalon cookware. Still, it is definitely worth the price I paid and more.

This is a mean looking pot!,

This review is from: Calphalon Complements Stainless-Steel 3-Piece 12-Quart Multipot Set (Kitchen)
I gave it 5 stars because of the price I paid for it - at $29.99 it's definitely a 5 star pot... So catch it on sale, if you can...
I like that the pasta insert can double as a LARGE steamer - there is room below it for enough water to do the job. I can even envision a stovetop clambake - though I have no access to fresh seafood, I'm ready, just in case! It will definitely get a work out during the upcoming tomato and peach season, not to mention boiling and straining the venison bones this fall. All in all, I'm very pleased! ;0)) PK
