Question: Can this be used for pasta?
Document: Would have given a 4 or 5 star if it was made in the US as the description claimed. However, the size is perfect for so many things. Beautiful to look at. Haven't used it yet so no reviews on its performance yet.
cooking asparagus upright in a narrow, tall pot is ideal. it allows the tougher bottom portion of the asparagus to boil in water, while the rest of it steams. (my mother used to use an old small coffee tin with the bottom cut out for this purpose).
The pot is narrow and the asparagus fits nicely. It is hard to get the asparagus out after cooking. I suggest leaving the rubberband on during cooking or tie them up. It also is good for longer pasta noodles and hard boiled eggs.
My husband and I received this as a wedding gift over 8 years ago. It wasn't something we had on our registry and were skeptical about it from the start. I typically don't like specialty items that can only be used for one purpose, however this product is a definite exception. It makes cooking perfect asparagus amazingly simple. No longer do we have to suffer through soggy tops or tough stems, they both come out exactly they way the should, nice and tender with a hit of crispness left.
we eat a lot of asparagus, but we prefer to roast it in a pan (10 minutes at 350 with a sprinkle of olive oil, pepper and grated parmesan) or grill it. but, when we need to steam asparagus, the all-clad steamer comes in very handy.
this is probably unnecessary and helps keep the price down.however i do have one big problem with this steamer: the basket. the steel rings that encircle the basket are placed too far apart, which is especially a problem at the bottom because the asparagus stalks tend to slide out between the rings. this makes the steamer quite difficult to "load."
and you don't have to worry about tongs or other awkward implments for moving the veggie around.One of the disadvantages with the frypan or big steamer method was that cooking asparagus took over the stove. This pot consumes very little real estate. My ownership of this pot will probably put green asparagus back on the menu!This isn't the sort of item that one _must_ have. But I'm really glad I own it.
We like ours so much that we have been giving them to our friends for gifts.
USED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT,I WAS TIRED OF OVERCOOKING ASPARAGUS.WORKED GREAT.IT IS MADE OF QUALITY STAINLESS.BASKET IS THE RIGHT SIZE FIGHTS NICELY INTO THE POT AND THE HANDLE MOVES OFF TO THE SIDE,IT LAYS DOWN.I BOILED EGGS ALSO,GREAT WAY TO BOIL 5-8 EGGS.I WAS VERY IMPRESSED.
This is an excellent product for steaming asparagrus or boiling fresh corn on the cob. I highly recommend it.
Answer: You can cook pasta in a tea kettle, but it may not be the best suited for it. Much like this pot. I don't think I would try to cook pasta in this. I think the feature of this pot is the ability to cook asparagus evenly (hottest at the thickest part of the asparagus).
