All-Clad Specialty Stainless Steel Stockpot, Multi-Pot with Strainer 3 Piece, 6 Quart Induction Oven Broiler Safe 500F Strainer, Pasta Strainer with Handle, Pots and Pans Silver

Arrived quickly, perfect size. I have the 12 quart All Clad pot already, but I needed a smaller one for smaller meals. This pot is excellent. The colander is very handy.

We're an All Clad family and purchased this based on the brand and the size.We are LOVING this pot. It's just big enough for pasta for 4 without us having to use our giant stock pot & strainer. We also use it for small batches of soup and chili when we aren't cooking for company or leftovers.AND...with the smaller size you can keep it with your other pots and pans (even sharing lids with some other All Clad pieces). With our larger stock pot / strainer we have to keep it in a high (out of the way) cupboard and it's a pain to get out. This is the "just right" size!!The steel is a tiny bit thinner than that of our regular All Clad kitchenware, but it WORKS GREAT.Note that the base is bottom of the pot is an applied disc that ABSOLUTELY IS INDUCTION COMPATIBLE. The heavy magnetic base is PERMANENTLY attached and is key with this set. The walls of the pot are not as thick as your normal All Clad pots (they're not "clad"), but who cares!?!? Honestly, it's great that the bottom is heavy, but the pot is a bit lighter!This pot works great and has all of the GREAT looks and SUPERIOR cooking quality of our other All Clad pieces.Don't be scared off by the low price...This Pasta Pot is WONDERFUL!!! Winner Winner, PASTA DINNER!!

Great product. Seems a little thin but performs great. I would buy again and recommend to anyone.

I'm not trying for a Michelin star with five or six quarts of secret-recipe veal stock daily. I use this to boil water and cook pasta or taters.It's a pot.It's prettier than many.It's sturdier than cheaper pots, so it will not get banged up easily, and will stay easy to clean longer than lesser pots would.It's not as heart-stoppingly expensive as some.I am happy I bought this one.

I purchased this after I bought the All-Clad 14-piece set because I wanted a steamer/pasta cooker it was just a little too small. I decided to return it after I noticed how easily scratched the pieces were I already purchased and didn't want to invest any more into a set that may not be a long-term investment. I had Wolfgang Puck pans for years, and they were great. I never really had any issues, but they needed to be replaced. After two weeks, I feel I may have made a bad choice. I had to buy special pan protectors and silicone implements, and the pots are stainless steel, not the non-stick version. For all those reasons, I sent this back.

All-Clad products are not cheap. I asked for this for my birthday and my hubby made me order it myself because he couldn't make himself pay $150 for a single pot. I didn't have this problem and am very happy that I got it...and so is he (now).I chose this pot for three reasons. The first is that it is still made in the USA. The second is that I am tired of replacing my cookware every 1-5 years and from what I gathered in other reviews, All-Clad products will survive anything short of an ACME anvil landing on them or a nuclear war. The third (and most reviewable) reason I chose this particular product is that I have always wanted a stock/pasta/soup/etc. pot that has the removable strainer.For the past several years I've been using a pasta pot that has a built-in strainer in the lid. On several occasions, I haven't held the lid on tightly enough and have dumped an entire batch of pasta into the sink. This also happened when I used a colander set in the sink and poured the pasta/water into it. Trust me...when dinner is ready except for the noodles and your entire family is waiting...starting over from cold water is NOT what you want to be doing.This pot is wonderful for preventing such unfortunate events (and the ensuing temper tantrums...not to mention the hungry hubby and kids) and is so easy to use that my 9 year old was able to strain the pasta while I was busy handling another emergency. It was also great for making chicken stock from leftover roast chicken bones. I didn't have to dirty another stock pot just to remove the bones, overcooked veggies and herb sachet. It is also very useful for soaking beans. When they were done soaking, I just strained them, dumped the starchy water and poured the beans back into the pot with other ingredients for soup. If I had been just making beans, I could have kept them in the strainer and just added more water to finish the cooking.One of the wonderful features that my hubby thought was a flaw is the fact that the strainer basket does not go all the way to the bottom of the pot. A lot of people don't use enough water when cooking pasta so it takes a long time for the water to heat back up after adding the pasta and it ends up really gummy. The extra couple of inches guarantees a sufficient quantity of water AND has the added bonus of ensuring that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.In short, I recommend this to anybody looking for a versatile and easy to use pot that will last forever (barring invasion by Bugs Bunny or a hostile foreign country).

I got this pot originally for cheese making. I liked that it had the strainer in it and it has been useful so far. Its really the perfect size pot!The only negative thing I would say that has nothing to do with the quality of the item, is that it came in the actual pot box, not packed in a shipping box. The lid was missing when I got it so I returned it and ordered again. The second one also came in the pot box but this time all the pieces were there so I was happy. Nothing was dinged up but I think they should put it in a shipping box because the pot box really isn't meant to be shipped and both times, the box was in bad shape when it got to me.But overall, I love this pot for making cheese and it is easy to handle.

Best pasta pot ever
