Amazon.com Review

Simmer that crowd-size batch of three-alarm chili or boil up enough spaghetti to feed the whole block in this 12-quart Cuisinart Chef's Classic stockpot. Made of professional quality 18/10 stainless steel that won't react with acidic foods, the pot features solid cast stainless-steel handles, a tight-fitting lid, drip-free rim, and a mirror finish that retains its brightness through dishwasher, freezer, broiler, and oven use up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. For even, conductive heating, an aluminum disk is encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel in the base. The stockpot measures 9 inches high and 11 inches in diameter; 14-1/2 inches including handles.

What makes this four-piece set special is its versatility. Included is a deep pasta insert, so you can lift out and drain your cooked pasta all in one fell swoop, without needing a colander; and a steamer basket that sits in the top portion of the pot and allows you to steam broccoli, shrimp, pot stickers, and all kinds of healthy, fat-free foods. The pasta insert and pot have the same riveted stainless-steel handles, while the basket features a swinging handle that tucks out of the way when the lid is on top. Every piece is dishwasher-safe. Cuisinart covers the pot set with a limited lifetime warranty. — Ann Bieri

Vendor Not Product: I love Cuisinart, and planned to get this steamer, however, the price on this one is NOT A DEAL! You can go to Cuisinart and it will be the exact same price. Frankly, in a case like this, I would prefer to buy directly from Cuisinart then some third party vendor who makes it seems as though your getting a deal.

Can't go wrong with Cuisinart: I have to admit that I've been 'sold' on Cuisinart for a while. When I began upgrading my outlet-brand pans with 'the good stuff', I conducted my own test by purchasing pans from several vendors. Cuisinart stood out as the best overall value and I've been hooked ever since. This Pasta/Steamer Set works better than advertised. It brings water to the boil… More reviews

My Wife Loves It!: My wife loves it. she said that it heats very evenly and cleans very easily. most of our other pots are allclad but i couldnt afford to pay 300+ dollars for the allclad stockpot so i got this one and my wife couldn't be happier. it performs just as well as the allclad brand and was less than a third of the price.… More reviews

Great but needs some improvement: 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… More reviews

Lovely pasta pot: This is a well made, usable pot, that has even heat conduction. The two liners (one for veggies, one for pasta) make it extremely useful.… More reviews
