## Description

The ZWILLING TWIN Specials asparagus pot is great for baking asparagus or pasta vertically. This 16cm diameter multi-purpose pot is also great for whitening, baking and stewing vegetables. It is made of stainless steel with a magnetic bottom compatible with all heat sources, including induction hobs. The bottom of the pot is equipped with a sturdy aluminium core that retains heat and distributes it evenly throughout the surface. This means that you can lower the fire to save energy. Inside this 4.5 litre pot is hooked a stainless steel mesh basket. Because the basket allows you to drain the contents of the pot, you do not need the colander. The satin surface is easy to clean as it allows you to wash the pot in the dishwasher. Effortlessly create delicious asparagus dishes and sophisticated pasta dishes in this multi-purpose pot.

Review: Top quality - My family and I buy a lot of products from desertcart, so it's always a delight to find a top quality item at a bargain price. If you are a pasta lover, in a family of 2-4 (i.e. 2-3 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids) this pasta pot is perfect for you. It's a great time-saver, as it heats water faster than big, wide pots, and it saves carrying those big (and consequently heavy) pots over to the sink to drain into a colander/sieve (and especially useful if you want to reserve some of the pasta water). I'm very impressed with the quality of this pan and I know it will last for years.
Review: Perfect pot for the job - This is a perfect pot in every way. I love its size as it fits easily on the hob alongside a large skillet and it fits into my pan drawer alongside all my other pots easily and I only have to leave the lid off to allow to close so happy that I can add this to my utensils. Have used it with penne pasta only half filling the pot to cook 200g; used boiled water from the kettle so didn’t take too long to bring to the boil and then added the salt and pasta to the basket and placed the lid on top. It boiled over so left it slightly open to finish cooking. Used a spoon handle to lift the basket handle and glove to bring it up and hook it to drain I was easily able to remove one to test al dente. Brilliant! This was so useful as I could keep the water and drain the pasta in case it was needed to loosen the sauce later. Care is needed to manoeuvre the basket as it is hot but I will get used to that. The basket is good and sturdy and hope that the spaghetti will not go through but will try linguine next time anyway. I washed it all in the dishwasher and obviously came up perfect with no blemishes mentioned by other reviews. This pan is a Zwilling so I knew it would be a quality item. It is very fit for purpose and just love it. I will also take on the clever idea from the reviews in Japan to use as a bottle cooler in the summer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for asparagus
*by L***M on 16 May 2024*

Excellent quality and value for money. I bought this for asparagus rather than pasta. You can't really cook asparagus in a normal saucepan; you need a tall one. It is perfect. Since asparagus is seasonal, it would be a heavy investment for being used just for a couple of months a year, but it is actually very versatile. Without the mesh basket it's ideal for spaghetti and thin pastas. With the basket it's really useful for vegetables and anything really. It's also possible to deep fry
