Insert is not very deep
I purchased this for pasta and vegetables. The problem is that the insert is not very deep so when water is added there is not enough for the pasta to boil.

Disappointed
I wanted to love this pot so much however it was smaller than I thought it would be when I opened the box. Also when cooking home-made pasta it boiled over and came out the side where it pour spouts are. What a disaster! I loved the pasta insert and price was great however I sent it back and will be getting the Calphalon pot with the 2 inserts, is more but Im hoping it will be better.

Not exactly what I paid for...
the quality of the multi-pot is good, heats evenly, nice and sturdy. However the use of the pot with the strainer basket is EXTREMELY limited. My first attempt at cooking pasta in the pot was not successful. When I filled the pot about half way with water, after inserting the strainer basket there was only about 3 inches of water to actually boil pasta. So needless to say you cannot fill the pot with enough liquid to boil pasta without fear of the water boiling over at some point. I ditched the strainer basket and just used the actual pot to boil pasta and strained the water with the lid. Needless to say I was disappointed. I have not attempted steaming vegetables, which it seems this pot would be more suitable for.

pasta boiling pot
the insert for boiling pasta does not go down enough so you have to fill the water high and then when it starts boiling it spills over and you have to take the top off top so water doesn't spill over
Great quality!
I mostly use this pot to steam veggies. Such great quality and doesn't take too long to do the job.
Great item!
I love Calphalon products and this did not disappoint. Got it on sale which I love even more!
