GOTHAM STEEL5 Qt Ceramic Stock Pot Multipurpose Pasta Pot with Strainer Lid & Twist and Lock Handles, Nonstick Ceramic for Soup, Spaghetti, Rice, Pots for Kitchen, Dishwasher Safe - Copper

We’ve been using the Gotham Steel Ceramic Stock Pot for almost a year now, and it's become a staple for us in the kitchen - especially for big family meals. The 5-quart size easily accommodated our family's needs for 5-6 people, whether it was pasta, soups and stews or good old fashioned (and fluffy) non-soggy rice we're south asian so don't like it when rice is sticky. The nonstick ceramic interior is still working like new, a few scratches but be sure to use non-stick spoon and accessories, easy making and easy to clean up with hand. At first, I worried about the handles not being durable, since my sister's same pot's handles became non-tight, but so far ours has been perfect...and the twist-and-lock handles keep the handles secure, preventing spills (great for someone who measures "the right amount" with his eyeball). The strainer lid is brilliant when draining pasta or washing grains, and the copper base is a hair better looking. Everything we made in it—from curries to chewy rice, soup, stew and cooked evenly without scorching. Even if sometimes food got burnt or stuck it was easy to cleak just soak it for couple of hour and easy to clean. Be sure to use gentle sponge or else it will get ruined. 10/10 (the only thing I would want is for it to come in a larger stockpot for bigger gatherings)!

Great pan for cooking pasta. The cover locks on and has drain holes that allow you to drain the pasta without having to hold the cover on get in the hot steam as the water pours out.

Had this for at least a year now, still in great condition. Love how the lid can lock into place, bit funky in the dishwasher but its not an issue. Strainer works well, overall great quality. Like the orange on it too lol

Convenient size, we were looking for a large sauce pan with two handles. The edge is sharp cut metal. The handles are bulky and look hard to clean so I’m trying not to leave it lying with a bunch of dirty dishes in sink. As others noted its nonstick quality is excellent. It is a good price. I would have preferred a slightly more expensive product with regular handles that doesn’t look like it was bought at the Just Seen on TV store.

One of the best purchases I’ve made. I use it constantly! More than just pasta, cook off burger and easy to drain fat off meat

Love love love this pasta pot! I use it at least 3 times per week and it's still in great shape. And I like how I don't need to use a separate strainer for the pasta which saves on dirty dishes. Highly recommend.

Love the handles, You can touch the hot pan. The locking mechanism is a treat, takes away the difficulty of holding the lid to drain. Easy to wash.

Absolutely love this pot. I like to make a lot of my own chicken and vegetable stock as well as all sorts of soups that I can put into single servings in the freezer. Great to not have to use a colander to strain pastas or the vegetables I use for stock. The safety handle feature is a major plus. I own other Gotham steel products and love them too. Highly recommend.
