Product Description
Now multi-cookers are available in a wide variety of materials and configurations, and there is also variation in terms of price. It pays to compare, as you will perhaps be happier in the long run with a well-made quality pot that was moderately priced vs. the cheapest thing you could find. This pot from Calphalon offers not just heavy 18/10 stainless steel construction, but also an aluminum disk base, a tempered glass lid, and two steaming inserts. Use the big one for cooking and draining pasta, use the smaller one for steaming fish, veggies or chicken. This also makes a fab pot for making stock, soup, or marinara sauce in bulk.
Amazon.com Review
Ideal for myriad cooking options, this four-piece set is sturdily made of 18/10 stainless steel. Key to the set's versatility is an 8-quart pot with an aluminum disk in its bottom to conduct heat quickly and uniformly. With or without its tempered-glass lid, the pot can be used for simmering soup or stock and for cooking beef stew or pasta sauce. Two steamer inserts come along, a shallow one for steaming vegetables, fish fillets, or pieces of poultry and a deep one for cooking pasta or steaming lots of vegetables. The entire set is dishwasher-safe, and the aluminum disk in the pot's bottom is fully enclosed in stainless steel for a uniform look and easy cleanup. The inserts are highly polished, while the pot has a contemporary brushed-steel exterior with a mirror-finish band under the rim. The set carries a 10-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Not what you think December 25, 2008
San Francisco Niner (West Coast, USA)
I saw a Calphalon multi-pot set at Williams & Sonoma and thought I was ordering the same one. Turns out this is made in China and not the US. Having seen this, I now realize that Calphalon has different quality/grade lines. The inferior quality in construction and design is readily apparent. For example, the steamer uses two wire handles instead of one which makes getting things in and out of the steamer more difficult. Moreover, the price was not significantly different than the higher model. If I had known or seen this particular beforehand, I would not have purchased it.
 We LOVE our pot! December 4, 2008

We love this pot with the inserts. We use it for pastas, soups, stews, gumbos, you name it! We don't use the smaller insert very often but we do sometimes steam broccoli in it (mostly we steam in the microwave since it is faster). It is the perfect size for a large soup for a family of 4 (with lots of leftovers). I love that spaghetti sauce etc. has room to boil so no mess on the stove.
Calphalon does it again! September 23, 2008
Robert Owsley (Chicago)
Many of my cooking ware is Calphalon and All-Clad. This is such a great product to boil and steam foods. The collander baskets do you a great service of draining the water or keeping the water away from your steamed foods. Be careful not to let the lid get wet and create a seal around the rim of the pot. The steam won't escape and could cause a build-up of pressure inside that can be dangerous.
Very Useful Pot June 30, 2008
Big Daddy (TN)
I made the same mistake that a lot of other people made by using the steamer to cook spaghetti. Once I figured out how to use it, I was very satisfied with it. It is much better than the pot that has the strainer in the lid that this replaced. This is a very versatile product and you won't be disappointed.
Works great! September 24, 2007
A. Black (Huntsville, AL)
The steamer works great. It is very durable. The 2 basket sizes come in handle. The only bad thing is it is not dishwasher safe, so it kind of a pain to wash the baskets.
