Title: Calphalon, But What a Desaster!
Review: Bought this to replace my trusted 4-quart steel steamer and pasta pot after watching a certain kitchen show tout the benefits of cooking pasta in a lot more water than one thinks. Well, you can't cook more pasta in it than in my little one because the water will boil over. And because you need more water, it takes forever to come to a boil. The lid is a joke, it spits and dances on the pot, and the shallow insert is worthless - the handles keep flopping down no matter how much I tried to fix it. Since I didn't get it from Amazon (I know better now!), and used it a few times, I can't return it anymore. It went back into the box and in the basement to languish until the next charity sale. So, the little guy still gets lots of use, and I have much better stockpots, an older 6-quart non-stick from Calphalon and a 8-quart stainless steel from Jamie Oliver/T-fal! Chalk it up to experience, sigh.
