Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Calphalon's stainless cookware is designed for chefs who demand unparalleled quality and performance. Made from brushed 18/10 stainless steel, this cookware delivers the quality insisted on by gourmets who won't compromise.

This 6-quart all-purpose insert is ideal for easily removing pastas, shellfish, or stock ingredients from any 6-1/2-quart saucepan or pot (specifically Calphalon's Professional Hard-Anodized, Commercial Hard-Anodized, Commercial Nonstick and Professional Nonstick lines). The nickel-chrome-plated, triple-riveted handles won't rust, although they also won't stay as cool as the Cool V handles available on Calphalon's other cookware lines. However, this insert is dishwasher-safe and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Product Description

Using an insert is so much safer and easier than juggling a pot full of boiling water and a colander. Simply lift the insert up, allow the water to drain back into the pot and then pour your pasta into a serving bowl. This is also extremely handy for corn on the cob, clams and sundry other candidates for steaming or boiling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Calphalon Masterpiece, January 5, 2002

This review is from: Calphalon Stainless-Steel 6-Quart Pasta Insert (Kitchen)

If you love Calphalon and Pasta, this is essential. The pasta insert fits perfectly into the large stock pot so it isn't moving and banging around inside the pot. Water moves VERY freely throughout the holes so you never get stuck-together pasta. No more pouring boiling water into the sink to drain pasta and risk scorching yourself. As usual, it is a high quality, very heavy piece. It also cleans up effortlessly in the dishwaher!
