Gotham Steel 5 Qt Nonstick Pasta Pot Pasta Pot with Strainer Lid & Twist and Lock Handles, Multipurpose Ceramic Stock Pot, Soup Pot with Lid, Pasta Cooker, Spaghetti, Rice, Dishwasher Safe, Black

I was really hesitant about believing that the pot actually worked as a colander too- but it does! I just got the pot yesterday and today I used it to make a 1 pound package of noodles for a casserole. I left the lid off during cooking, and put it on when the cooking was done. The lid was easy to secure onto the pot, and so easy to lift the pot up and drain it into the sink! And no colander to have to clean. LOL. The pot is more wide than deep- not what I expected at all, to be honest. So I am not sure if it will hold a 1 lb package of spaghetti, unless you break the spaghetti in half. Or maybe it would work if you the put the spaghetti in slowly and stir it until it softens and falls into the pot. Not sure. I will try it one day though.

I LOVE IT! It's lightweight, beautiful natural color, cooks and cleans well. I will eventually by a set if they have one. I bought this pan for pasta but I use it several times a week. I am definitely buying another one for my meatballs with sauce. I made beef stew, we ate. I let the rest cool for 2-3 hrs then put it all in the refrigerator. I reheated it the next day and no broth or gravy stains 👍. The stew tasted better than the day before. I leave this pot on my new stove. I love being able to strain out grease or boiling pasta water. I am disabled and can't lift the old heavy pans anymore. I have a 10lb limit or my back gives out, and my neck has plates %26 screws in it, work accidents 🤷‍♀️ I would recommend this pot to anyone. Oh, and it's super " non stick "!!!
