Prime Pacific Pasta Cooker and Steamer set with Glass ...

Categories:


Features:
  • 4 piece set
  • Vented glass lid
  • Deep pasta cooker insert
  • Colander has matte finish outside
  • Colander has shinny inside


Don't buy it:
Don't waste your money because it is not Stainless Steel as mentioned in the description because after only one use there are rust spots all over the bottom of the pot. Also, the colander was missing one handle when I took it out of the box. Worst quality imaginable.Prime Pacific Pasta Cooker and Steamer set with Glass Lid and Bonus 1.5 Quart Euro Colander


Low Quality:
Although this pot is inexpensive, I don't think it is a good value. The quality level of this pot is typical of what is found in dollar stores. The steel is so thin that I can literally buckle the side of the pot with my index finger. You are going to have to coddle this pot to keep it from getting dented up. The steel at the base is just as thin as the sides, so heat distribution is terrible. This will not be too big an issue if you're just boiling water for pasta or steaming. But, this pot is not going to double as good stock pot. It looks as inexpensive as it is. So, it's probably not going to flatter the decor of your kitchen. Accordingly, I am returning this item. I think it's worth spending a little more to get something better.


Good product for the price:
I like this steamer for the price. The main pot is not heavy so I would not use it for making things that sit on the bottom of the pot like chili as it might burn . However for anything that will be boiling with lots of liquid, it will work great. An unexpected bonus was the little colander. It is perfect for small projects. I use that more that anything else,


Functional but medium to poor quality pasta pot... (update):
My order arrived this week and first thing is the cleaning on arrival... The holes in the strainer and steamer all had the black material that is talked about in another review, I spent 15 to 30 minutes scrubbing to remove it (I doubt a dishwasher would do anything to clean this.) Second the strainer has developed corrosion in the finish around the inside bottom edge after just two uses. This is a functional but inexpensive strainer pot combo with thin metal and poor finish quality but usable. I am keeping mine, it will do the job. EDIT: After 1 month it has continued to corrode. Down to two stars from 3


Cooking Gear:
Great service -- packed well and shipped fast. Product set is well-made, fits properly and looks to be suitable for heavy use. My wife and I give these items four thumbs up!
