Cooks Standard Classic 12 Quart Pasta Pot Set, 18/10 Stainless Steel, Spaghetti Cooker Steamer Stock Pot Multipots with Strainer Insert, Stainless Steel Lid, 4-Piece

Don’t fret about not being able to afford the most expensive pasta pot! Buy this one and you’ll be so happy! It’s so easy to clean, it’s shiny and beautiful and it’s super durable! I love this pot and steamer!

Great pasta pot with drainer insert plus steamer insert. Large and roomy

First time ever,I don’t have to use multiple pots to make a large meal. And the “pastas trainer” component is divine. High quality materials, durable, easy cleaning after making a mess…..or a meal

This is a good multi purpose pot. I especially like the ability steam vegetables and dumplings or to cook a whole chicken. The only drawback for me is the size. It is larger than I expected which causes a storage problem in my small kitchen.

this pot set is wonderful!!! very heavy made the top insert is deeper than most and I am very happy about that. i have been using it mostly for canning purposes for now. thats a lot of hot water and jars with no problems with high heat. i've read reviews that said their pots were discolored, that is normal for stainless steel when it gets hot, this is not a sign of bad metal. only rust is bad metal. there's no sign of that. i wish i could afford a whole set of these pots!!

I like everything about this fabulous stainless steel pasta/steamer pot. It is very well made, solid construction, pasta insert sits deeply into pot to accommodate plenty of water to cook more than a pound of pasta. Water does not boil up over sides of insert if not over filled, that’s a good thing. Steamer insert generous size and fits well. I returned 2 other tri ply stainless steel pasta pots or multi cook pots because pasta inserts sat too high in pots to accommodate a pound of pasta. They were also 4 times the price of this Cooks Standard Classic probably due to the others being fully tri ply. How often does this happen, best product for less money. I find this 12 qt pot to be completely functional, well constructed and attractive as well. Best pasta pot ever! Thank you.

This 12qt set has turned out to be very useful. The big strainer insert is ideal for pasta. We've started making our own and we start heating the water when we start making the pasta and it times out pretty well that the water is at a rolling boil when the pasta is ready to drop. I't's makes a great stock pot too. Have made veggie stock in it, a month's worth of Chili, Red beans & rice (well, rice is cooked separately), and various soups. I was pleased a the level of quality for the price. We looked at similar in stores that cost much more, in some cases two to three times, and this set is better. The Chrome finish is starting to discolor after some heavy use -- we have a gas stove and the flame is... well.. hot (as it should be). I am not at all bothered by this as it's expected for cookware that gets used. I would recommend this set if you are in the market for such a thing.

Only my 2nd time writing a review for cookware but Amazon deserves a writeup for this pot. Most of my cookware is by the biggest American brand of stainless steel cookware (& probably a tad overpriced as well) but I needed to replace the multipot from that brand since they haven't returned my pot that was sent in for warranty replacement due to sharp edges. Anyway, I also wanted something bigger as that pot made cooking pasta for 6 difficult. This 1 is surprisingly large but it's EXACTLY what I was looking for. As far as quality, it's got some weight to it & washing by hand can be tedious. IMHO, it compares favorably to that other name brand (AC) & I couldn't begin to imagine what that company would charge for a pot like this! It heats up quickly on my induction range & hasn't boiled over yet, unlike my smaller name brand pot. The lid that comes with it fits perfect & the handle on it stays cool, though it does stick up a lot higher than the name brand pot.

This pot is one-of-a-kind. I just adore it. Making bone broth has never been more easy. 😃 The quality of this pot is truly impressive. It’s extremely well made. The stainless steel lid is a nice touch, as most have glass lids. Of course you gotta use a little common sense and realize that even though the large strainer/steamer basket comes up higher than the pot itself, you only fill liquid levels to the top of the actual pot, not the top of the basket, or you’ll have some serious leakage when you remove the basket. This pot is going to be very well used over the years. It’s so useful, not to mention absolutely gorgeous. Everyone always compliments it and asks where I got it from. I’m beyond happy with this purchase and feel very blessed to have this fantastic pot. It is worth every penny. ♥️

This set is really well built and sturdy. I love how flexible its features are, and it will hold a good-sized portion of anything you cook in it. The steamer basket is very large too. The best part for me is it can manage up to 500 degrees in the oven -- so it could be laid on its side to use as an oven above a firepit for cooking (I have a thermometer to make sure it's not too hot), with food/baking on trays inside. I got small copper clips to hold the lid on and they work great! I can't wait to try it out this summer!

Great to use. With or without using the steamer or the strainer items it's very versatile and a very useful cooking item to have.

Pot is ok

Love the size for blanching and as a smaller stock pot. It has a nice heavy bottom which prevents scorching.
