Contemporary Nonstick Multi-Pot (8-qt.) by Calphalon

This product is not of the quality of my other Caphalon products that I have been using for years. The metal itself seems to be of another quality as well as the finish. I am very disappointed in this item.

The 8-quart nonstick multi-pot is a tremendous value. It is significantly less expensive than other Calphalon products. I bought this for my son's home and had great difficulty finding it. Three stores in Austin and in Laredo didn't carry it, so I finally ordered it online. This pot, however, is much less attractive than the older Calphalon pasta pot that I bought years ago. I not only like the shape of my first purchase better, I also like its matching insert. Why in the world would inserts for the new pot be made of a different material? They don't look like Calphalon products. By the way, why isn't "pasta pot" or "pasta insert" part of the name of this product?

I liked this pan if i was cooking small pasta. I noticed for when i cooked more than a box of the spaghetti i could not use as much water as needed because it would overflow when it reached boiling. great design for small amounts. i wish it were a larger diameter base on the pan because the flames on the gas stove would heat up the handles on the pan.

If I knew this pot was made and shipped from china I don't think I would have bought it. I think I will buy the Allclad made in the USA thanks

It's a good pot
