All-CladSimply Strain Stainless Steel Stockpot, Multipot With Insert & Lid, 16 Quart Induction Oven Broiler Safe 600F, Strainer, Pasta Strainer with Handle, Steamer Pot, Pots and Pans, Silver

I am fortunate enough to have All Clad cookware, but I needed a large pot with a strainer to make stock and use for water bath canning. This is it!!! So glad I found it! I got the 16 quart size and am simmering chicken stock as I type this! First, the pot was packaged to perfection. There wasn’t a mark on it! And…it is beautiful to say the least. The pot’s handles are that of their D5 line, of which I love because they are easy to grip and carry! Then the strainer has three raised sections to stabilize while in the water. There are capacity markings inside of the pot itself as well. So my experience thus far has been nothing but positive! It appears to boil and simmer evenly, and it looks so dang pretty on my stove! I’m in absolute love and glad I bought it!

I purchased this to cook pasta and to poach chicken breasts (to keep around for recipes). I replaced an 8-quart pot, which was too big for everyday cooking, and replaced another brand of stainless steel Dutch oven because, even at medium heat, the other stainless steel pot deteriorated and left pock marks on the bottom. This size is perfect. It handles medium to medium-high heat without damage. The strainer on the lid is a great idea, although it took a little getting used to turning (instead of lifting) it on and off. This is the second All-Clad pot I purchased, and the quality is superior to that of the other name brand I've owned. I am happy to give it five stars. Thank you.

This prompted me to buy other similar pans from All Clad. I have been buying the D5 series. No regrets.

Great for boiling pasta with the sraining lid

This pot is heavy, but I was able to lift it when making spaghetti and using the strainer. Seems to heat evenly. I've only used it once so far.

I am an All-Clad devotee as it has, in all of its varied versions, consistently well. I have to admit that this strainer top version is a revelation. No more steamy colander transfers; and no more sticky colander to wash. An unquestionable advance in the kitchen. Also, this pot is lighter than my All-Clad pans, which is convenient, and it performs well on an induction burner. Highest Marks.

This is the right size for a single box of pasta, or for a batch of chili, etc. Not too big and heats evenly. The strainer lid is a nice feature -- just be sure to drain it facing AWAY from you...

I have all clad only! It took me awhile to purchase these. They are expensive but I use all my all cladEvery day! It holds up very well. I love just looking at it never mind cooking with it! LOL!!!Sincerely, sharon
