Overview
A home cook who wants one vessel for soups, roasts, steamed vegetables and fried foods gets a cast aluminum base with ceramic nonstick surfaces and a tempered glass cover. A removable heat control lets the pot be washed whole.
Casseroles, roasts, steamed rice and boiled pasta all come from the same vessel, and the heavy base heats evenly. Think multi-cooker, not tiered steamer, and note that the wattage is never stated.
Who it's for
Households short on counter space that cook a mix of soups, casseroles and fried foods suit this pot. Shoppers who need the power draw spelled out should check other models.
Pros and cons
- Roasts, steams, boils and deep fries
- Adjustable heat control
- Control removes for full washing
- Basket hooks on rim for draining
- Wattage not listed
- Single basket, not a multi-level steamer
- Heat control must come off before washing
Performance notes
A heavy cast aluminum base spreads heat evenly through the pot, and the adjustable control holds the chosen cooking temperature automatically. The basket hooks onto the rim for steaming or frying and drains easily. Only with the control removed is the pot fully immersible for washing.
