Just what I wanted.

When I ordered it I thought it might be too big, but it is perfect.I like to make big pots of soup using different kinds of bones.I am also big on pasta.It should be great.

Pasta cooker for a crowd!

This is a fabulous multi-purpose cooker - I'm mainly using it for pasta cooking but it does have a very substantial steamer. It definitely holds a lot of water and could possibly be difficult to transfer from stove-top to sink so make sure you want something that large.

12 qt. Multi-Cooker

Excellent quality. A perfect size for making large recipes.

Excellent purchase

I haven't used the inserts yet, but the pot and lid are great...thick bottom construction makes for even cooking...my 2 other cheap stock pots can only heat water properly, this is an all purpose large cooking vessel beyond pasta cooking. I no longer have to use 2 smaller Dutch Ovens to make large batches of chili, stew, whatever....Love this pot..

A Useful Tool!

The 12 qt. Multi Cooker is one useful tool in the kitchen. Not only do I have a pasta cooker and strainer, but I have a stock pot and a veggie steamer also! The perfect item with a large selection of uses.

BIG pot!

I like this pot, might be a bit bigger than I need. I do wish the steamer basket was a bit deeper.

Versatility

I love this pot. It does everything and looks good.

I have several All-Clad stainless and LTD cookware items and have been very pleased for years with the quality and durability of these products. I use a high end gas cooktop and need a solid product to withstand the high BTUs. The appearance and weight of the 12 QT All Clad multicooker is very nice. This item includes a stainless, perforated insert, which works well and provides easier clean-up than the mesh insert offered by Williams-Sonoma, also a 12 Qt All-Clad Multipot ($149). My disappointment was realized with my initial use of cooking pasta. After the first use, the bottom exterior of the pot displayed burn marks. All of my stainless All-Clads pots and pans have never shown scorch marks after hundreds of uses over many years. Bar Keeper works somewhat, buy not 100%. After only ONE use?? Has All-Clad cheapened their product???

Liked the pot, but was challenging for a short person (5'3

Great Value

Good quality All Clad pot for a fabulous price. Perfect for any number of cooking jobs. Great for boiling small pieces that are difficult to fish out and still save the broth. Takes a long time to get water boiling, so only practical if you're cooking a large amount of food, but that's what you'd expect in a 12 qt pot! I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because the boiling insert ends a good 3 1/2 inches above the bottom of the outside pot. That might not seem like much, but that's a lot of boiling time, even with a high powered burner, when time matters!

best pot i ever used for pasta.

I like the idea of this product, but it is too large for ease of use for a small number of people. It takes a long time to heat the water and bring it to a boil. There is plenty of water for lots of pasta. I have not used the steamer option for vegetables. I may change my opinion in the summer for steaming corn. I have lots of All Clad pans and utensils and am an overall enthusiastic fan. This cooker may just take some getting used to.

What's not to like? It's a beautiful piece of cookware, as are all All-Clad products. I bought it because Alton Brown told me that my
previous All-Clad pot was too small for pasta and other stuff....and he has given me a new-found desire to continue to cook new stuff.

I have only had the Multi-Cooker for a short time, but it is well made and cooks as the descriptions say. I love my other All-Clad cookware and this is a good addition for pasta or steaming crabs.

It is just the right size. Large enough that the water doesn't boil over. Small enough that it fits in the dishwasher.

All we can say about this product is WOW!! Not only can you steam vegetables, but the pasta can be done at the same time for a simple pasta dish ALL IN ONE POT!! Easy for clean up too! All clad has done it again, Thank you!

makes life so much eaiser.

I haven't had a lot of opportunity to use it yet, but it worked great for my homemade tomato soup. It was also very easy to clean. I plan to use the inserts for blanching vegetables, like green beans, before freezing in the fall. I've been looking for a big pot with a steamer insert as a good price, and the pasta insert is an added bonus.
