Review on 🍝 All-Clad E414S6 Stainless Steel Pasta Pot with Insert Cookware, 6-Quart, Silver - Ultimate Tool for Pasta Lovers! by Mike Betzing

Smaller - Steamer, Stock and Pasta Pots

I was trying to swap out a large pot from a different brand for one that cooks a little faster. The one I have, a well-known brand that claims to be "induction-ready," takes about 30 minutes to boil water. The fully cased pots that we have usually heat up very quickly on our induction cooktop. However, it's a bit difficult to know in advance since most of these pans have an aluminum sandwich "feature". I have a friend. In fact, this is not a very practical size. Of course, fully cased pans aren't non-stick as they're steel on the outside, so you'll need a steel wool scouring pad to get dirt off them. This pot also has the same unfortunate all-clad (metal plate) lid design instead of glass, or better yet, glass with a hole in it to prevent it from exploding. We feel All-Clad should: 1. provide a spatial reference in their marketing materials (e.g. banana), 2. offer a glass lid, 3. provide some calibration of how fast they boil water on an induction cooktop.

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
  • Exchange Availability
