[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bought a pasta pot just because it was a really great deal around Christmas, and love it. Yours sounds different though. [b]Mine is just a regular pot (no insert) with holes in the lid on one side to drain water out when pasta is finished cooking. I use it as a regular pot more than for pasta, but it's great when I do cook pasta.[/b] [/quote] As a "shortcut lady", this is what you want to use when MIL is not around. I have had a Circulon version that I use frequently because it is such a time and labor saver. One pot with a locking strainer/colander lid. You put the lid on the pot after turning off the heat. You turn the lid to lock it, carry the pot to the sink and pour the water out through the holes. Then your pasta is ready to put on a large platter or you can just add sauce to the pot. Only two pieces to wash. I see that there is a 5-quart version from Bialetti and a large pot from Farberware. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007TDQSW0/ref=pd_aw_sbs_79_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=5171M05t%2BtL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C100_&refRID=04G0JD5R7B7PGK0SGTGS[/quote]
