Cuisinart 99-36 Everyday Stainless 3-Piece 7-Quart Pasta Set

 (5 customer reviews)

These two are the most frequently used pots in my kitchen and they've been great! They're big enough to hold several servings of pasta. The best part is that they clean up easily since the handles are attached as smooth welds. I've had other pasta sets with rivets that made it difficult to remove all the starch. These two clean up with a quick wash. One puzzlement is that the instructions said that the pot heats quickly so use med-hi heat, but my observation is that it doesn't heat all the quickly on an electric range. Using high heat did mar the interior finish on the pot though, so I'd recommend limiting heat to med-high.

The pots are great, the only thing is the handles get hot, so be careful you don't burn yourself like I did. I thought I read they didn't get hot when I ordered them? Any way I still love them. They have made a nice addition to my kitchen.

This is one of your best investments you can make in your kitchen. I used to have an enamel pasta set that I used constantly until it developed a hole. This pot should last the rest of my cooking days and still be around to be passed on in the family. This is a heavy pot that looks great. If you cook pasta, corn on the cob, potatoes, steam vegetables, blanch vegetables for freezing, or if you do any canning this pot is great for blanching them without having to fish those fruits or vegetables out one by one. YOU WILL LOVE THIS PASTA SET! You will also wonder why you never had one before.
