 Incredible.Mar 16, 2005
By Michael Stack
What a great pot! I was a bit skeptical at first, though I loved my other Circulon pieces and desparately wanted a straining pot, and this really exceeded my expectations.
Like all Circulon 2 products, totally non-stick-- I made angel hair this evening in it, after straining (and we'll get to that in a second), I was stunned to see that even sitting in the pot for several minutes, the chewy al-dente I cooked the pasta to never resulted in any of it sticking-- on my previous pot, I'd be fighting to get the last several strands off the pot.
I was also a bit nervous about heating-- this pot is much shorter than comparably sized pots and is much wider, but it heated quickly and evenly.
Now, the locking mechanism-- seal was tight. I experimented filling it with water and picking it up by the handle on the top when locked. No problems. Turned it upside down, water out the holes only. When I actually strained something with it, I was pleased to see that with minimal effort and shaking, I was able to get all the water out (I did have to jostle it a bit to unsettle any trapped liquids, but no moreso than I would with a typical colander).
Highly recommended, I have a sneaking suspicion this will be a new favorite in my home.

So easy to use and convenient!Nov 23, 2007
By C. Markel
I've owned this pot for over a year and absolutely love it. No more fussing with a separate colander to strain spaghetti. The pot is stick-free and easy to clean, too. It's a must-have item.

 faulty productMar 10, 2010
By Janet A. Hines
This pot top locked when the pot was in the closet, but when heated and filled with pasta, the top DID NOT secure to the pot and FELL OFF WHILE I WAS POURING HOT SCALDING WATER.
I may have received a lemon but the cost of this product and the brand, I was extremely dissapointed in this failure. I tried three time to insure I was securing the top correct and ultimately, I returned this pot, purchasing another brand for 1/3 the price and proper performance.

Best pasta pot ever!Feb 12, 2010
By Hockey Mom
We sent our old $30 pasta pot with a strainer lid with our son to college so we needed a replacement. This pot is so much better than the old one and super easy to clean. In the retail stores it is twice as much so this was a great deal. We'll probably be ordering another one for our vacation home soon.

LOVE this pot!Feb 07, 2010
By a night owl
I have owned this fabulous pot for about 7 years. Yes, it's a GREAT pot for cooking and draining pasta, but I use it for just about everything -- from sauces to stir-fry. It's very durable and so easy to clean. Nothing sticks to it! The stay-cool handles are nice and large, making it very easy to pick up and pour a full pot of boiling water. The pot is very well balanced in your hands. I have given several of these pots as gifts and they love their pots as much as I do. I cannot recommend this pot highly enough.
