The All-Clad Stainless Steel Pasta Pot is ideal for preparing pasta, whether it's for family spaghetti night or a romantic fettuccine Alfredo dinner for two. The large capacity gives noodles room to boil, and the 4-quart insert allows you to drain excess liquid without the need for a strainer. Durable stainless steel construction provides even heating, and the polished finish lasts even when placed in the dishwasher. When you're finished cooking, simply remove the insert and any liquid will drain through the small holes on the sides and bottom back into the pot. Make different stocks by adding meat or vegetables and seasonings to the insert, or use it to steam vegetables by adding a small amount of water to the pot under the insert. The large, sturdy loop handles make it easy to lift and carry around your kitchen, while the polished stainless finish looks elegant and complements other All-Clad cookware. The included lid and insert are also made with stainless steel, and all three components are safe to put in your dishwasher.
