Perhaps some customers got a bad shipment, but I'm so thrilled with my pot set. The pot is much thicker than I expected, after reading other reviews. The pieces are all easy to clean and don't appear to show the wear-and-tear as described in some reviews. Overall, if you want a great deal for a great pot set, then this is your product! Why spend twice as much at the local superstore for half the product?!?
We got this pot and I think we use it everyday and love it. Our family of 4 with 2 teenagers, we cook rice,pasta, soup or vegetables with it and the 2 strainers/steamers are great, we are learning to steam as we cook to save time (and cleanup as we found out) so we use it. This is that one pot we do really use its not to big and not to small.
The pot itself is a good size, just big enough to boil up a moderate amount of pasta or braise a bunch of greens. Don't expect to saute or sear anything in it though. The bottom is extremely thin and will warp and permanently discolor before the pan is hot enough to get a good sear. The lid also has a small vent which can let out precious water if you're making something like soup. Overall, if you're looking for a pot to boil water in, this works. If you want a lasting piece of equipment that you can saute and cook in, keep looking. This one is far too cheap for that.
The steamer was one of the Christmas gifts for my daughter in her new apartment . This will last a long time and I believe easy to clean . Will not stain when used properly . I had it shipped directly to her , it arrived early on the estimated days allowed and I did inspect the steamer myself .
Made poorly in China. Looked nice out of the box. The handles are not solid so water gets in them when washing and then continues to drain down the side. The vent in the top is not big enough even on simmer the lid rattles and spits. The knob on the lid is metal so it gets hot. Owned 3 months and already showing some rust spots, went in the garbage.
We have been looking for a pasta steamer for some time, but they are so expensive we never got one. Till now - this is an excellent product for a great value - almost half price! I definitely recommend to all.
I have enjoyed using this. It made draining the pasta and saving the hot water easy.
I have ordered Prime Pacific stainless steel pots before and they are usually heavy. But for some reason this one and its inserts are thin. I made pasta and the handles got so hot my fingers were burned. I didnt return the item beacuse it was really cheap with a coupon and rewards. and would actually cost more to return it . I love overstock but cannot recommend this pot.
After 45+ years of cooking, I trust this stock pot set will hold up and not eventually leak as many, many stock pots do. I have a larger and similar one that I have had for 12+ years.
Used my pot for the first time and LOVE IT!!!....I'm actually gonna purchase another one to give out as a gift!
