This is the most handy pot I have! As they
say, it is just the right size. I originally purchased it to make my hard
boiled eggs. I have chickens, so I have a lot of those!
It easily holds a dozen eggs. I stack them up in
the basket and lower them into the pot and add enough cold water to cover
them sufficiently. Then I take the basket out and put the water on to boil.
When the water comes to a rolling boil, I again lower the basket into the pot
and time it for 14 minutes for large/extra large eggs. I don't wait for it to
reach another boil before starting the timer. I have found this method to be
the best for peeling hard boiled eggs, especially the "farm fresh"
ones that are more difficult.
When they are done, I take out the basket and
rinse the eggs with the coldest water I can get out of the tap. Meanwhile, I
allow the pot to cool somewhat and then lower the eggs back in and fill it
with very cold water. I drain the cold water and add new cold water a few
times and then let the eggs stay in the cold water a while. Ice can also be
added to the water, which eliminates the need to change the cold water. When
the eggs are sufficiently cool, they are so easy to peel! And I have never
cracked an egg doing this!
I have also used it with the basket for boiling carrots
and they were so easy to lift out and dump into a bowl. Without the basket in
place, I have made pasta sauce that cooked perfectly.
The height of the pot worried me a bit, thought
it might not cook evenly. Well, there is no problem at all. I find I need to
leave the heat lower than with my other pots, which are also good quality.
Even with the small base, nothing has stuck to the bottom or scorched, not
even the pasta sauce.
The cool touch handles are great and make the
pot easy to handle. I always keep it on my stove as it is so handy. I use it
frequently and don't know how I ever did without it!
I just ordered a second pot for a gift for my
neighbor, who loves to cook. I know she will love it, just as I do!
This pot is not only extremely handy, it is made
of high quality stainless steel and cleans up beautifully. I just wish I
could give it more than 5 stars, it is that good!
Edit 3/26/10--Since there is no image for this
pot, I thought I should add a little description. Overall, I would say this
looks like a gourmet pot. It is shiny stainless steel with a wide brushed
finished band around the middle. It is tall and looks like a large sauce
pitcher made into a pot. It has a pouring spout with a long curved handle
(only curved at the top, from there on it angles down) at the opposite side.
The glass top lid has two sets of draining holes, one small on one side and
another larger set at the other side.
The strainer basket (which features a convenient
lift up handle) has rather large openings, so I wouldn't plan on using it for
noodles and so on. But that's where the strainer lid comes in very handy.
With the strainer in place, this pot would be great for cooking asparagus,
broccoli, carrots, corn on the cob and, of course, eggs (as previously mentioned)!
And even though it can easily be referred to as an asparagus cooker, it is
very versatile and has many uses.
All handles (pot, strainer, and lid) are covered
with red silicone to keep them comfortably cool--I believe that is the only
color it comes in. To me, it has a very contemporary, European look. It looks
very elegant on my stove, which is where I keep it all the time.
