This pasta pot is brilliant!  Draining pasta and vegetables is now a non steam & a non burn stress free process in my cookery!  I’m a great fan of the Gotham Steel products and definitely will continue to add more cookware & bakeware to my current collection.  It is important to follow the low stove top cooking instructions as recommended by the manufacturer for optimum results for both cooking & clean up.  When using Gotham steel products on the stove top it is important to heat your empty pot or pan 5-10 minutes before cooking on low.  Clean up is just a paper towel wipe or a light soapy wash.  Enjoy this product if you haven’t done so.  Wayfairs quick delivery is greatly appreciated.  Always earlier than than expected!
