 Not Demeyere quality! December 10, 2009
Becky Home Ecky (Connecticut USA)
Beware, this pot is made in Indonesia, not Belgium like other Demeyere products. The pot arrived severely defective, there was a HOLE in the bottom edge, daylight shows through! The metal is thin and was machined too closely. Very light weight, not substantial like a true Demeyere pot. The quality and styling is not the same as that found in the authentic Demeyere pot I ordered at the same time from Amazon. The advertising copy on Amazon does not say where the product is manufuctured which is misleading to the consumer. The packaging identifies the pot as a Resto by Demeyere. This is not a Demeyere pot.
It is troubling that Amazon does not offer free return shipping for such a blatently defective product with misleading advertising copy.

An asparagus cooker? An asparagus cooker... You are actually thinking of buying an asparagus cooker.... Wow.
There are people in the world who are starving and you are seriously considering buying an asparagus cooker?
You have at least a dozen pans that will cook asparagus (and yes pasta) just fine. Take the money you were going to spend on this and give it to your local Mission.
Do it now while there is still time to save yourself.

While this pot was certainly useful for it's intended purpose, I did find it somewhat awkward to remove the hot, steamed asparagus to a serving plate. Because the asparagus is standing upright in a deep, narrow pot, in a wire basket, it inevitably fell out like pick up sticks, and I'd have to get out the tongs and rearrange the stalks on the platter. Some stalks would break in the process. I think the idea of cooking asparagus upright like this is to cook the thicker end of the stalks more than the delicate flower end, but a special pot seems quite unnecessary. Why make a simple steaming process so complicated.
At some point, I tried roasting asparagus on a cookie pan in the oven. Just drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, toss gently to coat. It is quick, easy and in my opinion, more flavorful. My family prefers the roasted version.
 If it were just a little taller January 13, 2009

On balance this is a good product. It is well made and does the job. I wish it were two inches deeper though. The normal length of the long pastas such as linguini are just about 1 1/2 inches longer than the depth of the pot so you have to keep stirring it until the pasta softens and sinks completely. If you don't, you end up with a short end of the pasta not cooked sufficiently when the rest of it is.
Having said that I still think it is a very good piece of cookware and I use it frequently for various boiling tasks.
 Mediocre Purchase April 4, 2008

This is advertized as a pasta/asparagus cooker but arrived with no cooking instructions, no cleaning instructions and no user manual or any written documentation of any kind. Kinda chintzy considering the price.
