Norpro KRONA 8 Cup Multi Pot with Straining Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been looking everywhere for a pot like this. My son lives in Germany and has one almost like it (without lid). It is used every day. I tried to find one in Germany, and so far have brought 2 home. Neither have been exactly what I wanted. I have also looked for this in many department and kitchen stores - no luck. I found the same Multi-Pot on another web site without the lid and at twice the price before I found this one. (I ordered 2 from that site because I was so excited). When I found this one on the Amazon site, I ordered 2 more, then I ordered another 2 for wedding presents. This is a stainless steel pot with a bottom that distributes the heat evenly so you don't get the hot-spotting that can occur with just stainless steel. The pot is a good weight and the handle is sturdy and does not wobble when the pot is filled with water - a problem I encountered with one of my German pots. I use the pot to heat up water, make sauces, hard or soft cook eggs, cook vegetables, and for many other things. The more I use this pot, the better I like it. The straining lid was an added bonus. I do clean the pot and lid by hand, and do notice that water sometimes stands under the hardware of the handle, taking a while for the lid to dry. Aside from that, this is really a neat little pot and, I keep finding new uses for it every day. Measuring lines are etched on the inside of the pot. Try it - you really can't lose at this price.

Farberware Classic Stack 'N Steam 3-Quart Saucepot and Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This has got to be the deal of the century, and not only that, these pans will last you almost that long! My mother has had a set for 35 years, and I've had mine for 5. Nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe, good performers on the stovetop, with stay-cool handles! They even look great after all those years!
Keep in mind that because they are mostly stainless steel, with an aluminum bottom, Farberware does not heat up quite as fast as, say, hard-anodized aluminum such as Calphalon, which gourmets prefer. Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor, while aluminum is good and copper is the best. On the plus side, you can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher and Calphalon does not have true stay-cool handles, like Farberware.
Anyway, how often do you buy a gift knowing that it will still be around 20, 30, 40 years from now? By the way, if the pot does have a problem, they come with a Lifetime Warranty.

What could be healthier than steamed veggies on a bed of rice or pasta? With this stackable set you can utilize the steam from whatever's simmering below to cook whatever's on top.How's that for cooking efficiency? Functional as well as beautiful, this 3-quart saucepot and 2-quart steamer insert are made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish. The pot has an aluminum core in its base to spread heat quickly and evenly. The core is completely clad in stainless steel so, like the rest of the pot and the steamer, the pot bottom resists corrosion and discoloring and cleans up easily. Thick rolled rims add durability and make it possible to pour from the pot without dripping. Because the pot is 4-1/2 inches deep and comes with a tight-fitting, domed lid, it is roomy enough to simmer stocks and soups and can also be used for braising veal shanks or for cooking chili on the stovetop or in the oven. (The handles are oven-safe to 350 degrees F and stay cool on the stovetop.) The pot and steamer are dishwasher-safe and come with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
