Gourmet Chef 4 Piece Pasta Cooker Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product couple months ago and used it a few times. Both the dutch oven and the strainer started showing signs of rust. I hand washed it everytime I used it. I would not recommend this product and I would never buy it again.

Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick Rachael Ray 8-Quart Covered Oval Pasta Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. I watched her show occasionally and I like her and some of her ideas although I am not a devoted follower.
I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. I have stainless steel cookware and compared to my stainless steel pots this is functional and easy to clean. The oval shape is easier to handle compared to a big round tall pot, the dome shaped lid allows more cooking flexibility, it conducts heat well and Anolon makes quality cookware. I also purchased the 5-quart Oval Saute pan and the lids are inter-changeable. This is great for the times you don't need a lid that is domed and taller, has a vent, and you need to see the dish you are cooking.
I like the looks of this line better than her other line with the safety orange handles. That line has the same pot with a flatter glass top with no vent and it is called an 8-quart oval stock pot.
I watched the price for a while before I made a purchase. The price on this pot went up and down; as high as $99.00 and as low as $66.88. A friend who is a longtime Amazon shopper suggested putting it in my cart and waiting until it hit a good price to purchase it I did, I got it at a good price and I am happy.
So this is a great pot heavy duty and cleans easy. If you are a Rachel Ray fan but not into her line of pots with handles the same color of orange construction cones this is a great choice.

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.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel 4-Piece 12-Quart Pasta/Steamer Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace an older smaller pasta cooker. I have about 20 pieces of the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro cookware but couldn't justify spending over $100 for a large stockpot. The only notable difference is that the Multiclad has the sandwiched aluminum all the way up the sides of the pot. Not really necessary I thought for something I would use mostly for boiling water. Besides, the heat source is only really from below and that extra multiclad surface only adds to the weight.
I love the shiney exterior and the large capacity compared to my previous pasta pot. The steamer insert is a nice little extra but I'm not sure I'd want to haul out this enormous pot just to steam a few veggies. The lid is more domed than Cuisinart's standard lids and has a more sculpted handle. Cleanup is easy but only if you have a very large sink. The handles on both the pot and insert are solid and appear to be very securely attached.
So what's not to like?
This pot was a lot bigger than I anticipated. So large in fact that it doesn't fit in my normal cookware drawer. I ended up having to divide the pot from the insert just so it would fit in the cabinets. And that domed lid just adds to the height. The insert didn't need to stick out of the pot as far as it does and the handles on the insert come out further than those on the pot itself. Where the pot will barely fit, the insert won't just because of the handles. The other problem with the height of this pot comes when you try to use it on your stove. I nearly have to stick my head under the fan hood to see inside it!
The inside of both the pasta insert and the steamer basket won't drain completely. There are no drain holes along the bottom outer edges so the water continues to drip after removing it from the pot whenever it's tilted. I'm also not sure why they made the outsides of the insert and steam basket so shiny but made the insides brushed. This is almost the opposite of their fry pans. A shiny smooth inside would have made cleanup easier without the use of Teflon.
It would have received 5 stars except for these minor issues.

Oneida 8 Quart Multi Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I searched for the metal content of this item here at Amazon's listing and elsewhere, the only available info is that it is "professional weight steel construction". Well that SOUNDS good. So I ordered this.
When the pot arrived I looked in vain on the package for exactly what the stainless steel content is. There is no information on the box and no accompanying documentation. I wasn't even sure if the piece is made in the USA.
So I contacted Oneida. The rep informed me that this piece is 18/0 stainless. How this mix is interpreted as "professional" cookware is anyone's guess. According to info about stainless steel, 18/0 is an inferior grade and prone to spotting and rusting without the nickel. It's also why it is frequently less expensive, as the addition of nickel costs more for the manufacturer.
If you only wanted to boil water in this pot, it would likely be fine. However, I wanted to use it for a variety of purposes (you know... a "multi-pot"!). Cooking acidic foods such as chili or spaghetti sauce could be a problem in the 18/0 stainless. So I am returning this and will look for something else.

Nonstick Pasta Cooker Review

(More customer reviews)This pasta pot cost less than 20 bucks and it is wonderful! All of the other pasta lids don't lock so you dump your spaghetti right down the drain! This is also teflon coated and it has held up well. I bought this pasta pot about 3 years ago and I have never used anything else ever sense.
