8.5 Quart Stock Pot with Strainer Lid, Multipurpose Pasta Pot Spaghetti Pot, PFOA free, Three-layer Non-stick coating, Dishwasher Safe, Tempered Glass Lockable Lid, Cast Aluminium, Grey

This is my most used pot in the kitchen. I have not had anything stick to the surface in this pot. Cheese, rice, egg, pasta, milk, and all the usual "sticking" foods do not stick. The strainer lid is great for pastas, blanched veggies, dry beans, corn on the cob (yes, some whole ears will fit), etc. It's quick to heat up. I use it on an electric stove top and it sits on large and small burner elements just fine. The handles do get very warm from side heat on the large burner and I use hot pads to pick up the pot, but the handles seem take the heat just fine. I use this pot a lot and it keeps coming back for more. I do not use metal utensils in it, so I don't know how well it might or might not work with them.

I like the pot for the most part, my only complaint is that the top slides around even when locked- which kind of defeats its intended purpose. The nonstick coating is very nice and the pot itself is of good quality, hence the 4 star rating.

Love the pot. Easily made two boxes of lasagna noodles. However the draining lid is bulky and awkward. Maybe I need to learn how to use it better. It’s a good pot for pasta - draining, not so much.

I really like the convenience of this pan and I actually like it better than the more expensive stainless steel one I bought.

I love that it is easy to hand wash because it’s nonstick really works. The handles don’t get hot and are strong enough to hold the pot lid when straining a half pot of pasta. It’s a nice stout pot for my tiny stove space. The microwave at my current home is way closer to the stove than any other apartment I’ve lived it before. So I’m glad I found a pot that was still big for tamales, stews, etc but not tall.

Nice pot. The lock mechanism is an added advantage. Be careful though, the handles heat up pretty quick.

I should have ordered the smaller one.

THE POT IS NOT LIGHT, BUT I NEED THAT FOR AN INDUCTION STOVE. IT IS MADE VERY WELL. IT IS NICE AND DEEP, HOWEVER THE BOTTOM IS MORE NARROW THAN EXPECTED AND IT DOES NOT WORK ON THE LARGE BURNER BECAUSE OF THAT. THE STRAINER PART IS FANTASTIC, NO SEPARATE STRAINER NEEDED.
