Asparagus pot

This is a perfect pot in every way. I love its size as it fits easily on the hob alongside a large skillet and it fits into my pan drawer alongside all my other pots easily and I only have to leave the lid off to allow to close so happy that I can add this to my utensils.Have used it with penne pasta only half filling the pot to cook 200g; used boiled water from the kettle so didn’t take too long to bring to the boil and then added the salt and pasta to the basket and placed the lid on top. It boiled over so left it slightly open to finish cooking. Used a spoon handle to lift the basket handle and glove to bring it up and hook it to drain I was easily able to remove one to test al dente. Brilliant! This was so useful as I could keep the water and drain the pasta in case it was needed to loosen the sauce later. Care is needed to manoeuvre the basket as it is hot but I will get used to that.The basket is good and sturdy and hope that the spaghetti will not go through but will try linguine next time anyway.I washed it all in the dishwasher and obviously came up perfect with no blemishes mentioned by other reviews.This pan is a Zwilling so I knew it would be a quality item. It is very fit for purpose and just love it.I will also take on the clever idea from the reviews in Japan to use as a bottle cooler in the summer.

My family and I buy a lot of products from Amazon, so it's always a delight to find a top quality item at a bargain price. If you are a pasta lover, in a family of 2-4 (i.e. 2-3 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids) this pasta pot is perfect for you. It's a great time-saver, as it heats water faster than big, wide pots, and it saves carrying those big (and consequently heavy) pots over to the sink to drain into a colander/sieve (and especially useful if you want to reserve some of the pasta water). I'm very impressed with the quality of this pan and I know it will last for years.

Excellent quality and value for money.I bought this for asparagus rather than pasta. You can't really cook asparagus in a normal saucepan; you need a tall one. It is perfect. Since asparagus is seasonal, it would be a heavy investment for being used just for a couple of months a year, but it is actually very versatile. Without the mesh basket it's ideal for spaghetti and thin pastas. With the basket it's really useful for vegetables and anything really. It's also possible to deep fry

Bought this pot just for cooking spaghetti - good value of money as it serves its purposes and it’s solid; however it takes quite a while to boil the water from room temperature (20 mins+ with gas hob) so not very ideal if you just want a quick dinner. Also it takes up a bit of space for storage. Otherwise, it’s a good product. Hand wash recommended.

Great quality and value pot that's easy to use. I love the fact it has a strainer included. It's a great size for our induction stove and is easy to clean. Bought at a really great price for the Zwilling brand. The only thing that you have to be careful of is the handles do get hot when the pot is heated.

Good pot but when I was cooking thin pasta it went into holes, not expected 🤔

Great quality item, looks beautiful and very well made. Given to my daughter in law who uses it often and loves it

This pot is made exceptionally well, the base is thick and heat distribution excellent, works really well and quick on an induction stove. This is heavy duty and not a paper thin piece of junk. Its the pot that will be handed down through the family. 10 out of 10 for this product. The stainless steel basket is very good with not sharp edges.
