Amazon.com Review
Save precious storage space in your kitchen with this multi-purpose pot from Fagor. Constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel and brushed to a contemporary finish, the eight-quart pot is the perfect size for large batches of soup, stew, and chili, not to mention stovetop popcorn. With the pasta insert in place, you can lift and drain your cooked pasta with ease, doing away with a colander. Place the steamer basket with its swing handle in the top of the pot for healthy cooking of broccoli, asparagus, and other vegetables. The tempered glass lid vents steam as it lets you monitor what's cooking. Safe to use on any type of burner, including induction, the multipot is dishwasher-safe and carries a limited one-year warranty. A recipe book is also included. Founded in Spain, Fagor manufactures home appliances and cookware with a "green" focus on environmentally-sound working conditions for employees and energy efficiency for consumers. In Europe, Fagor holds environmental stewardship awards, and in the U.S. is a participant in the Energy Star program, a government-backed program to help protect the environment. One of the company's most popular products is the pressure cooker, which is gaining momentum as a healthy, time-saving, and energy-saving method of cooking for today's lifestyles. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box:
8-quart multipot. The pot set consists of: 8-quart stock pot; tempered glass lid; pasta insert; steamer basket insert. 4 pieces total.
Product Description
Not only can you use this pot for conveniently cooking and draining pasta of all shapes and sizes, you can also use it to cook asparagus, corn on the cob, crustaceans of various species, veggies and so on. The aluminum within the base makes heating fast and even, while the glass lid allows you to monitor the cooking process without disrupting it. And when the meal is over, all the pieces go into the dishwasher for trouble-free clean up.

A Few Shortcomings, But still Usefull! April 21, 2008
nsomniak6 (CT)
I have used this pot for many dishes with many purposes, but as other reviewer stated the handle on the lid does get very hot and the lid does seem to fit properly which isn't too bad but it has a vent which means that too much steam can escape. Plus the improper fit causes a lot of spattering of hot liquids. Just be careful.

I was excited to receive my Fagor 8qt multipot, which was of high quality 18/10 steel. First impression was quite positive. On first use I noticed that the pasta basket insert did not reach the bottom of the pot, in fact it stopped 2 inches short. Thus that two inches of water was useless when boiling water for pasta. Bottom line, I needed to use about 50% more water to boil the same amount of pasta increasing energy use and the time it took to get the water to boil. I would recommend that anyone wanting to use a pasta insert when boiling water get the 12 quart size which is quite a bit taller and more efficient to use.

Good quality pot July 14, 2007

After serious considerations, I decided to purchase Fagor. This is a good quality multipot and served my purpose well. It heats up fast and feels solid. The missing star is due to the design of the lid handle, as previously reviewed by another user. It does get hot and could slip. But I can work around it. After all, it's a good product for its price.
Too hot to handle! February 3, 2007

As I expected by the photo of this product when considering purchase, the pot has a very poor handle design. It gets very hot when using on the stove. It also took a considerable amount of time for water to come to a boil.
 It does everything! January 11, 2007

I have used this pot over and over. It not only is great for pasta, it is a steamer for large quantities of vegetables. It can be used as a soup pot as well. It truly is multi-use for people that cook family size portions.
