 recommended! November 1, 2009

Very affordable, this nonstick pasta cooker is working nicely for us. The lid really locks in so you can safely pour the boiling water into the sink.
This is the only pot we ever use. July 4, 2009

We haved loved this pot! I think we bought it about 3-4 years ago. It is so easy to use. The locking lid makes it a cinch to drain pasta without a colander, and eliminating one extra thing to wash is always a bonus. We use it for everything. It's also much lighter weight than those big strainer pots, so it's easier to lift and manuever. We've never had a problem getting the lid off, so perhaps the person who had a problem with it just had a bent pot. I have to say that we have really "abused" our pot. We sometimes put it in the dishwasher. We use it once or twice a day and it's looking pretty well loved at this point. It's still functional, but there are some scratches on the bottom, and I think we should replace it. But we've gotten a lot of use out of it. And I can't believe how reasonable it is now. I am going to buy a few more and keep them for future use. One other thing...I was trying to find this pot online and had a hard time finding it. What kept coming up in my search was the oval pasta pot by Rachel Ray -- which is selling for $60 - $100.00. That's outrageous! And, although it is the same great oval shape that is good for spaghetti, it doesn't appear to have a locking mechanism, and that is essential to making this a useful pot. Otherwise, you have to find a way to hold the lid on while you're pouring out water through it. I highly recommend this pot. I was worried that I might not find another one.
Great value out of a cheap pasta cooker November 7, 2008
Jessica Glenn (Texas)
We've been using this cheap pasta cooker for over 3 years, and it is great. It's nonstick so it's easy to clean, and the lid locks on so that you can strain hot pasta safely. The only problem that I've found is that if you have damaged or warped the pot in any way it might be difficult for the lid ever to work properly. But, hey, at this price it's not that big of a dealbreaker. You might have trouble getting the lid off a few times in the beginning -- just run cold water over the pot until you can get it off. After a few meals, it should go on and come off just fine. Unlike some other straining pot/pasta cookers I've seen, there's very little chance that you'll actually dump your meal out in the sink when you're straining and you won't need kid gloves to strain it. It's a great timesaver and worth the price.
Similar pot by Tramontina November 2, 2008
Bill (Florida)
I bought a different style pasta pot by Tramontina at least seven years ago. I don't know if it is still available. I think it has held up quite well to relatively heavy use. My pot is a sauce pan style with a locking lid. There is a little wear to the nonstick coating up near the top, possibly from the cover or stacking with other pots. I would buy other products from this company.

Used the pot and couldn't get the top off. Got the top off by prying the ears back and damaging the coating. The ears that hold the pot down are too big for the grooves on the pot itself.
