Cuisinart 766S-22 6 Qt. Stainless Steel Pasta Pot w/Straining Cover Chef's-Classic-Stainless-Cookware-Collection, 6-Quart

This is a great and affordable pot to buy if you like to boil pasta in larger pots or need a quality stock pot without breaking the bank. The locking lid with the built in drainage holes is top notch.

Im loving this pot and the straining cover is all I needed.It is fine for pasta, as advertised but it does fab with all your veggies, potatos... anything you want to boil.Yes it is big and gets heavy, but no extra just manage the amount of water, even for pasta you actually dont need that much.If I could improvement something would be the handles as they get hot and you are going to need a cloth to maneuvre, an improve in the handles would be great in that way.Quality is nice and peace ot stainless steel

This pot has changed my life!! I only wish I'd known about it sooner!! I make pasta/rice/stuff that needs to be strained just about every other day of the week. We eat alot of rice and pasta haha I am done using traditional strainers because I am a germaphobe and don't like to have the strainer in the sink and the thought of that strained water overflowing yucky sink water into my pasta grosses me out. So then I tried the kind of strainer that stretches across the sink, and that worked okay, but it was a struggle to get the pasta back into the pot when it was done draining and I always ended up making a mess transferring it. I also never liked the built in strianer pots because the pasta would stick to the strainer holes and wouls be such a mess to clean up. But THIS pot solves all of those problems!!!! This pot is bigger than it looks - it is narrow so it looks small, but it holds a TON of water! It is also so lightweight and easy to clean, I love that it is dishwasher safe! It does take awhile to heat up, maybe ten or so munutes, especially when you fill it with alot of water, but that is to be expected, especially since it has holes that release some of the steam. But I just plan ahead and get it going early since I know it takes a minute. One of the best features about this pot is the handles, they don't get hot! They get warm, but I have not ended up needing oven mitts to hold the handles at all. And lastly, the best feature of all, the straining lid! It is pretty easy to figure out, it took me a few tries to figure out which way to spin for a good lock and how to unlock it. It's super important to make sure it is locked properly, so give the lid handle a few pulls to make sure it's secure before straining! I am going to buy another one as soon as I can afford it, and I highly recommend this pot!

We are empty nesters now and this is the perfect size for our family of two. It heats up quicker than my previous large pot, but the best part is the lid. I love that you can just pour out the water instead of using a colander. Good value.

Love it. Great pasta pot

Very nice. I like the measuring lines on the inside of the pasta pot. Fine quality

Love this stainless steel pan for large batches of soup and pasta. Easy to clean. Great value.
