I really thought the size and shape of this pot were great for pasta- no need to break it because the pot was tall enough to just toss it right in!! I thought it was very sharp looking, the stainless steel holds up well over time, instead of color enamel that will look worn or or outdated and need to be replaced. I like this pot and I'm glad to have it as one of my practical, very useful cooking utensils! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
