Rachael Ray Hard Enamel Covered Pasta Etc. Pot, Red, 8-qt

I am impressed with this pot. I love the spout to drain my pasta. The lid is awesome too! The handles never get hot so I no longer need a pot holder. I cooked Spaghetti in it and lasagna, and chicken and roast. I just can't stop using it! I hand washed it because it said to and it's to big to put it in the dishwasher anyways. I wished I had this a long time ago. I got it as a sample and I must say it's the best pot I ever had. I can see thru the glass lid also. The lid is 14 inches by 10 inches. The pot is inside 13 by 9 inches. The handles to handle is 17 inches. The color is beautiful and rich looking. It is made with hard enamel and that's a good feature. It's all non stick interior and those grippy handles are awesome because I really get a hold of the pot with out slipping. The lid is tempered glass. The oval shape is what I like most because I can make spaghetti with out breaking it to fit the pot. My lasagna fits right in there and never breaks. Love it! It fits one burner too! It makes 8 quarts. This has to be my favorite pot and I probably will buy all of the other ones she make now.

I used this pan to make spaghetti. It turned out so good and the noodles were cooked perfect, thanks to my new Rachael Ray cook wear!!! I recommend this for anyone.

This product is very durable compared to many of the pots I own. It has a unique design especially with the beautiful red color it has which makes you easily fall inlove with it. It has two handles that have a hand grip which makes it easy to drain water from it. I would definitely recommend this item!

I wish I had this wonderful multi-use pot sooner ! There is all over Even cooking with the Cucina . Of course it's perfect for boiling Pasta. But Don't Stop There ! I just cooked a pot full of Rolled Cabbage and another pot of Rolled Grape leaves ...PERFECTLY ! This pot cooks so evenly and consistently , that you don't have to continually be checking it. The Shape of the pot makes filling and layering items so easy thereby managing to put more items in than a regular shaped pot. Thank you Rachael Ray for inventing it. I'm glad I was able to test this out! Plus love the color!

I have several pieces of Rachael Ray enamel cookware and they are all great quality, this pasta pot included! It's really sturdy and thick, so I imagine this pot will hold up as well as the others which I have owned for a few years now. The 8 quart size is perfect for large meals or roasting a whole chicken. I'm not quite sold on the oval shape. It fits spaghetti perfectly (see photo), but the box says the oval shape keeps the large pot from covering other burners. It did leave plenty of room for the upper burners of my cooktop, but it's so wide that it extended into the area of the burner beside it. It's shown in the photo, but I have a glass cooktop so you have to look closely to see what I mean. The shape is also a little awkward when trying to drain water, so I'm not sold on it's use as a pasta pot. Where I think it shines is as a roasting pan. It can fit a whole chicken or a roast and it is oven safe to 350 degrees. Perfect for a low and slow roast! As mentioned before, I don't like that it extends into the area of other stovetop burners, however I would highly recommend as a roaster- in a beautiful color to boot!
