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 large 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 or lobsters, 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.
