Overview
A fastening straining lid is the working part of this Cuisinart pasta pot, which boils in one step and drains through holes in the cover. Measurement markings in cups and liters are on the stainless steel body.
Boiling and draining in the same pot is the reason to look at it, and the lid locks on for a safe pour. The limitation is size clarity: the title says six quarts, the capacity says liters, and the size line says a slightly larger number.
Who it's for
Cooks who boil pasta or vegetables on gas, electric or induction and want a lid that doubles as a strainer. Measurement marks help with water amounts. People wanting a steamer basket or a nonstick finish should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Straining lid built in
- Measurement markings in cups and liters
- Works on all stovetops
- Mirror finish stainless steel
- Capacity listed three ways
- No steamer insert listed
- Lid locks on, needs care when hot
- Handle details not given
Performance notes
The cover fastens to the rim and its holes let water pour out while the pasta stays in the pot. Stainless steel construction works on every stovetop type, induction included, and the marks inside help measure water before the boil.
