User questions & answers

Question:	Does the lid fit well so that most of the steam stays inside when you cook with it
Answer:	The lid fits perfectly allowing most of the steam to stay inside.
Question:	What is the height of the 12 quart stock pot
Answer:	8.5" inside height of pot w/o lid 9.375 outside storage ht w/ lit turned in
Question:	Is this pot induction stove capable
Answer:	Yes, the item should be induction compatible
Question:	I am looking for a stainless steel pot. I don't want aluminum coming in touch with my food. What's the deal with this impact bonding
Answer:	I understand your concern, Mike. I also don't want to cook with aluminum which is why I've have chosen stainless steel to cook with. The Cooks Standard Classic has bonded steel which "sandwiches" the aluminum between layers of stainless. The aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and the stainless is a perfect surface on which the food comes in contact with and cooks, depending on the skill of the cook, to perfection. It's the best of both worlds. I've used this pot to make delicious soups, to cook pasta, and although I've only had it a short time, I anticipate making many other delicious meals with it. I don't think you can go wrong here, and if I were you, I'd get some "Bar Keepers Friend" which you can find in the grocery store or hardware store, to keep it shiny and sparkling and looking like new. Good luck!

User questions & answers

Question:	quarts doesn't sound very big to me. How much pasta can be cooked at one time in this pot? Thanks
Answer:	It's a medium size pan, probably 5 quarts. You could cook a good amount of pasta in it but not a large batch. The only thing I don't like about this pan is that it is so rough on the bottom, it damaged my smooth cooktop really bad.
Question:	Could an expandable/collapsible metal veggie steamer fit inside, seeing as though this item is oval
Answer:	Yes, I t is oval. And I would recommend a silicone steamer insert. More likely to fit, and won't scratch non stick interior of pot.
Question:	Where it's made?I hope not in China.Thanks
Answer:	I went to the Bialetti web site which stated the company originated in Italy in 1919 and is still in business today. However, I couldn't find any mention of where the pots are actually manufactured.
Question:	Are the handles screwed on or attached with rivets that can be seen from inside the pot? Screwed on handles almost always get loose
Answer:	They have screws that can be tightened. The problem I had is the lid handle kept coming unscrewed. Then the tab that keeps it from turning broke off. Trying to find a replacement. I love the pot, hate the plastic.

Product description

This piece of cookware gets its name from two Italian words “pentola” which means pot and as its name implies, it’s great for boiling pasta. That’s because of its high sides and the included colander, which you can just lift to drain without damaging the delicate starches. But, it’s also great for steaming or making foods that require straining small particles, like meat or veggie stocks.  As part of our D3 Collection, this Pasta Pentola features a bonded tri-ply construction made with a responsive aluminum core pressed together with 2 layers of durable, stainless steel all the way around the surface, for fast and even heat.  At 7 quarts, it accommodates a couple pounds of pasta and water. To keep your All-Clad looking brand new, we recommend washing your cookware with a soap and sponge instead of the dishwasher. Like all our bonded cookware, it's handmade in the USA at our Canonsburg, PA factory with ultra-durable materials that'll last a lifetime and never go out of style. A flat, stainless-steel lid is included to lock in moisture. Handles & Colander Insert are made in China.

• 7-Quart pasta pentola with perforated insert - perfect for cooking pasta or steaming food
• 3-ply bonded construction consists of durable stainless steel encapsulating an aluminum core for even heating throughout
• Highly polished cooking surface with starburst finish offers stick resistance and easy maintenance, plus won’t react with food
• Contoured stainless-steel handles permanently secured with stainless-steel rivets; capacity etched on base; flat stainless-steel lid
• Oven- and broiler-safe up to 600 degrees F (without lid); induction compatible; limited lifetime warranty; Made in USA

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use pot as a dutch oven? can’t use cast iron (like staub
Answer:	I guess you could, but it's not really designed for that. It's tall and narrow like a stockpot, and really too tall to fit in the oven like a Dutch oven would. If you can't use a traditional cast iron Dutch oven, then you would probably be better off using a 6QT heavy aluminum stockpot.
Question:	How much does this weigh - is it awkwardly heavy for a 10 year old? I'm comparing this to the All-clad 6 quart pasta pot
Answer:	I hate to cop out on this answer, but it would depend on the ten year old, At that age I was over 5 feet tall and our family did outside catering, so maybe I am not the best judge of that. That said I love the pot, it replaced a larger Emirel's sp.? which was a little larger than it needed it to be. Pasta is definitely on the menu more often at our house since it arrived. I found it to be the perfect size to cook a 1 pound box, I haven't tried larger amounts of pasta since there is only 2 of us but it could probably handle larger amounts. I'm a tool guy and something of a cheapskate so it is unusual for me to break down and buy the "best" whatever but this is beautiful (My first piece of All Clad) and it is the right tool for the job. My best suggestion is to have the kid in question fill the pot at the sink (cold water weighs the same as hot) and see if they can carry it to the stove easily. It just occurred to me that I don't actually have to carry the pot, hot. When the past is cooked, I just carefully lift the insert and drain the pasta and tilt the insert towards me at an angle and rest it on the pot at an angle, and serve from there with tongs or as pasta grabber and let the pot cool on the stove before moving it to the sink. hope this verbose answer is helpful.
Question:	Are the dimensions (12" x 9.5") wrong? V = pi*6^2*9.5 cu in = 1074 cu in. @ 57.75 cu in / qt, that is closer to 18 qt, not 7 qt. Please clarify, ty
Answer:	Mine is 7 qt. About 8in ID and 7.5in height. With the insert it's about 10in tall, but that doesn't add usable volume.
Question:	Does it state on the pot that it is made in the usa & that it is 7qt
Answer:	Yes, it says made in the USA and 7 qt on the bottom of the larger outside pot. I will say that the rivets where the handles are attached on the larger pot have poked through on the inside. I don’t know if that makes sense, trying to describe what I see as a bit of a defect. Overall, I am happy with the pasta pentola I like having the strainer insert and we cook a lot of pasta.

Answer:	The diameter of the pot is 10 3/4".The pot is 14 1/4" wide, handle to handle.The pot with lid is 8 3/4" highThe pot to the top of the lid handle is 10 1/4" high
Question:	does it work on an induction cooktop
Answer:	14.5 inches
Question:	what is exact diameter and height of this pot plus lid
Answer:	Mine did not come with a canning rack, just the pan and a lid. Mine has an inner depth ( measured from bottom inside of pan to top of side) of 9 and 1/2 inches. The diameter of the inside bottom part of the pan is 12 inches and the diameter at the top of the pan ( from inside edge to opposite inside edge) is 12 and 5/8 inches. The bottom of my pan is nice and flat and should work fine on the top of a glass top cook stove. I’ve never used mine for canning, just making root beer and very large quantities of food. Good quality. The outside bottom of the pan has “platinum grade stainless steel” written on it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the black handles oven proof with temps upwards of 300 degrees
Answer:	I buy a lot of stuff that comes with these types of tiny instructions. If you don't have a magnifying glass handy, you can also just use the camera on your phone, and zoom in. I really wish some of these companies would print larger instructions, or make them available online in a larger size.

Answer:	it is a good battery and i like this watch because it last for a long period more than one year

Answer:	pull the right of dial bottom, then adjust the analog time, after set right time ,then Push the bottom
Question:	Has anyone tried this 12 qt stockpot on an induction cooktop
Answer:	It is a general size but it comes with 2 extra links if you need it bigger and it also comes with the tool to take links off if it's too big. Hope this helps. In my opinion it's a really nice watch. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it.
