GOTHAM STEEL 5 Qt Ceramic Stock Pot Multipurpose Pasta Pot with Strainer Lid & Twist and Lock Handles, Nonstick Ceramic for Soup, Spaghetti, Rice, Pots for Kitchen, Dishwasher Safe - Copper

Item was exactly as described and works well. Lightweight and a great size. The locking handles are clunky are large, so be sure that's a feature you really want before you order it. Draining is slower than you'd expect, but a bonus for people who wear glasses because they won't fog!

I have a different model, it held up well so I bought this version that's deeper. Very satisfied. Live the lid draining option. Definitely needs to be hand washed and don't use metal utensils. Cleans easily.

Love it!! I had a generic black cheap one and found tiny black pieces in my kids macaroni.. threw out the food && the pot. All I could think about was every time I did not see that and made whatever in it. Never again, this works great for me and pretty to look at too.

Super lightweight, but decent quality.

Must have in your kitchen. Best quality for the price!

Really like this pot with the lid making it easy to strain foods. The lid has two sized holes for straining. Unfortunately our lid broke and I am not seeing where I can get a replacement.

Love this pot. This is my 4th time getting this. My oldest daughter for college apartment, then 2nd, and my son. I wasn’t gonna purchase again after that but it just make my life little bit easier so why not. Less doing dishes and cook in one pot, that’s always plus plus.

So, my husband just recently gifted me with some amazing pots and pans for Christmas. So, I threw out all my old ones as they were very old and worn out. I was in the market for a new spaghetti pot, so I searched high and low for one before choosing this one. I loved the fact that it has grips on the side for the lid, holes to strain any liquid, and the functionality just makes my life easier.The pot was much smaller than I anticipated. I got the same size as I've always had, but this pot it's noticeably smaller. But, still doable. I didn't stress over this detail at all. It's a semi deep pan, so I could still cook dinner for my family of 5. Once I finally used it (I used it for spaghetti noodles on my 1st time), I put the lid on and turned the dials on the side, which was great. Didn't have to worry about the lid falling off or holding the lid while simultaneously straining the liquid. The one thing that was disappointing was the holes in the lid to drain, are actually quite quite small, even while using the side with the larger holes. It does not drain quickly at all. For reference, to strain a package (16 0z) of THIN spaghetti took about 2 to 3 minutes. That's even with me shaking it, switching sides, rotating, etc. I thought maybe I was just being a little impatient that day, so I used it again 2 weeks later and still had the same problem. I ended up just grabbing a strainer from my cabinet and using it to cut time.So, yes, it heats well, it's functional, and it works, but it's just not right for myself and my huge family. This is definitely for someone who is single or has a small family. If I were to have used thick spaghetti, I would have been sitting there trying to drain the spaghetti alot longer. Sorry! I really wanted to love it.
